Not only Jason and Todd. When you were up in NY I heard you too, when there 
 was (if I remember correctly) an instrumental of a Brook Benton song  
playing.  Your singing voice is interesting, 'authentic' and very  pleasant.
 
 You should sing more, actually (imho).

Gee Ken, I guess  you wouldn't like what I used to do with the old  
party band.  Imitations. Buster Brown, Tommy Tucker, Ernie K. Doe,  
Brook  Benton.
I think Jason is the only one who has heard me. Oh, and  Todd.
