That is TALENT, without the aid of 5,000 watt amplifiers, which usually attempt to conceal lack thereof.

Not at all, Cannuck!

Pablo Casals never needed an amplifier. Leona Boyd never needed an amplifier. Nor did Elvis, or Buck Owens or Eddie Arnold.

Of course they did. Any time you pay a bigger stage, you need amps (unless you are talking about symphony orchestras).

Looks like Buck's band has electric guitars.....better run for your ear plugs before you click on the video.

Thanks, DaSleeper!

How could anyone place the drug-ridden, guitar-smashing insane, melodyless cacophony of, let's say, the Rolling Stones or Bruce "The Boss" above this beautiful piece is beyond me.

Maybe I am just too old, who can differentiate the voices of older performers, while the current ones just all sound alike.

It's not about placing one over another. Each artist is doing their own thing and should be judge on that. Da Vinci and Monet have two different styles and while one could argue about personal preferences, to say one is "better" than the other is rather silly.

BTW YJ, did you like Liona's work with rockers Eric Clapton or David Gilmour?

Of course they all did. You sadly show your ignorance of the music industry. Why here she is with the Prince Of Darkness Ozzy Osbourn.



Did her.
