Indeed, Moose. Her voice is just that sort of voice: clear, beautiful and very
affecting.
A lady who sometimes sings behind me at church is equally as affecting, without
being as powerful as Carole’s.
And some 30 years ago, at a small gathering in Suffolk, a friend was playing
his guitar, almost to himself, when another friend suddenly burst into song, a
thrilling experience.
There is something about song and voices . . .
