She has never thought outside the box
it is always the same mad chirping
that first brought her fame .She knows
quite well what type audience applauds wildly
for the usual freak show of fairly accurate
singing at fast tempos . She really belongs in a circus . I think I’ve given
her a new venue , just imagine her swinging back and forth chirping away like a mad canary .They already have
violinists doing it. As for the charts,the
number of records sold would be
of mild interest .There was a Florence
Foster Jenkins who chirped like mad
who also filled the concert hall .
As a performing musician myself, i believe that CB is one of the finest performing musicians – not just singers – of the last two decades plus.
