Well, it's Superbowl time, so a bit of hyperbole may be in order. In
truth, there are thousands on this planet with equally great voices,
only a modest portion of whom are performing in the broad public eye.
I daresay a Susan Boyle could be found in every county in the USA !
I don't know about that, exactly. :-) I do know that when I hear my wife's voice float out above a
choir/chorale/whatever, like an angel joined in, I feel deeply blessed.
This is a crappy, hand held video, and the sound from the the built-in mics on a P&S still camera is kinda muddy, but I
can hear what I want. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KmSiTsHaYo>
There's a few seconds at 1:00, but the real joy is in the Ave Maria, starting
about 3:00, and building toward the end.
Carol hates it, 'cause of the close-ups. :-) And it's hard for her to admit how her voice stands out, and how
beautiful it is. She's a real believer in choral work as joint effort, where all put their voices together to create
something wonderful. And that's what she teaches, when directing. But when the emotion gets into her, her voice doesn't
entirely agree, and rises out of the ensemble. Never fails to make my eyes damp and choke me up a bit.
