@bdp24 ”excessive vibrato singing.” Yup. Pretty much sums up how I’ve always felt about Joan Baez. A maudlin, namby-pamby overall tone and vibe, one that was a certain exploitation of a ‘60s trend hasn’t helped me like her much, either.

@tylermunns , thank you for explaining that. My mom went to Catholic school. She was a natural lefty, but every time she tried to write left handed, she got a sharp rap on the knuckles. Terrible penmanship her entire life. So, A quick acknowledgment to the old school nuns and Catholic church for saving my mom's soul and left hand from the diabolical vices of Satan... |
@thecarpathian , my older brother was a 'southpaw', and went through the same nungrinder I did (and also 'got sprung' early).... They tried to beat the Palmer Method of Handwriting into him as well. His cope was to curl his hand about so he could comply with the method. He wrote fairly well, actually. It didn't work AT ALL on me, although right-handed.....likely a source of my many run-ins' with them. And my script still sucks....*L* My cope is to print really fast.... ;) Which I can do upside-down and sideways. I can also draw in the same fashion, which really alternately bugs and amazes spouse and others.... I learned to be really flexible in some ways.... *G* |
