If you search SoundClick for Charles Schreiner you can hear a couple of sounds I've been singing for years. I still don't have the level right. I've to learn how to increase the volume without clipping... Wow! You sound great. I'll never forget when I met you in 1995 - you could have passed for John Denver's bad-ass rougher brother. :)
Well, you also sing better than John Denver.
I admire people who can sing - 3 treatments for nodules when I was a teen pretty much destroyed my singing career (not that I would have had one anyway)
On Alan Parsons - I saw them in concert in 1995. (Actually, I just now realized I went with Joe U. and Dean R., two names I'm sure you'll recall). I had no idea how APP would translate into a concert performance. I was BLOWN AWAY by how well they played live. They played the entire side 1 from Tales of Mystery and Imagination, and they did the impossible - stayed true to the original studio effects and yet put on an exciting live show that I will never forget. Despite all the Rush and Yes concerts I've seen, the APP show in 1995 will always be the single best concert I've ever attended.
I lost track of the encores, even beyond the standard one or two, because the fans just WOULD NOT let them leave.
