Right. I agree with you. I recognized her style as being quite similar to
Marlene D. also. Just personal preference on my part though. Lenya has
that fast vibrato method of vocalizing and I guess like with the clarinet
you either like it or not. I tend to be a lurker here as I don't consider
myself in the same "league" as many of the members and this is the most
I've posted since joining so I'd better withdraw before I offend or tick
someone off. I will take this opportunity to thank the many contributors,
however, for their interesting and valuable posts! I have quite a library
now of clarinet related info.
