	Wow Bill ...... ... that's some sweeeeeeeet deeeeeeeeeep bass you got goin on here in the vocals! I think I could feel the vibration all the way up here in Canada ..... Check out my latest song called Street People (Anomalous w/Alannah)

	:) I was going to put a frog for the pic but that might a bit too silly :) I just can't get that high sound that the kids want, my vocal keeps getting deeper and deeper. Especially now that I have a cold it is even worse :) Check out my latest song called When Your Strange

Swing Low
Of the singers you mention, Paul Robeson has always been my favourite bass singer. I love his version of Ol' Man River. Hadn't heard of Kevin Maynor - just had a listen to his version - very impressive. Back to yours - a wonderful reminder of the style, and all wrapped up in your exquisite guitar playing. Magnificent!

Johnny Cash was
the guy who inspired me to pick up the guitar....when I heard the LP Live at San Quentin....in 1974....I have ever since then tried to play all the bands parts at the same time....and even the drums sometimes 80)...still do ..this is great typical of the singers you recall in the description...it's coming home with me

Cheers

	I think a lot of people think of Johnny Cash when he was older, but I sure was impressed with the bass vocal he did of Swing Low. How high his vocal range while getting a lower sound around all that. Check out my latest song called When Your Strange

Take a bow, Bill.
I've never heard such a joyous treatment of this song! The picking is full of light and life, sporting an optimism that is infectious.

I've always thought of Old Man River as the popular bass tune, so this was a good reminder of other tunes in that singing range. You sing well sir, and I look forward to your next accompanied song.

Peace,
Doug
