[lit-ideas] Re: Laugh Tracks

You probably want to tell us that Dimitri had a pretty flat note at the end of 
his song.  Yeah, he did.  Maybe he was having an off night.  We'll forgive him.
 
I notice that classically trained singers often do a terrible job on regular 
songs.  I remember quite a while ago having tickets to hear Joan Sutherland 
sing Gershwin and Porter.  I couldn't wait and boy, was she awful.  It was 
neither song nor soprano.  Her Christmas carols are almost as bad.  It's always 
the C.D. I skip over.  It seems the genres just don't mesh.  But, I found this 
artist who's classically trained doing a regular song, the classic Moscow 
Nights.  Her soprano isn't Joan Sutherland, but I think she's really good.  
What do you think?  (Rhetorical question)

Should be 'Jewish-owned' and 'Novemberpogrom.'
