Wow - a very wide range of genres this month indeed. All are challenging in their own way: the oldies start to sound boring quickly, so they need lots of variety. The Rock n Roll song is really hard to make it sound RnR without the back-up band and electric guitars, and all. The Rich Mullins song has both an almost impossible range from lowest to highest notes, plus fast tempo and almost no place to catch a breath, and on top of all that rather odd timing and phrasing issues. What a workout!
One comment that I got that I think I need to give some thought to - my Diction is quite precise - perhaps I could sacrifice some precision for passion. I'll have to think about that a bit.
