Audio Research Factory Tour
A great example of how a well intentioned poster had their post shattered.Good or bad, that was the end result. 
Great female voices
Trixie Whitley, (a sleeper),  watch her Tiny Desk Concert. Limited dynamic range but... how does that range/control come from such a petite frame?? Carly Simon, kind of forgotten now. What a vocal range!The great Linda Ronstadt.
