Phil,

You're being much too hard to yourself! Consider this: You're familiar
with "My Lagan Love", right? (If not, you *should* be embarassed about
that.) That's an old, traditional song, sung a capella in a conventional
way. Now ask yourself: If you had never heard that song, and you just
heard it one day, out of the blue, say on the radio, would you know who
it was? I probably wouldn't. Good singing does not, in an of itself,
necessarily reveal the identity of the singer, even when it's Kate. Her
voice does not have that unusual a character, until she starts using it
in unusual ways.
