I experiment all the time. You never know what might be pleasing to your ear, until you listen to it. It took me a long time to realize that. I only started exploring out of sheer boredom with classic rock.

Most recently, I have been listening to a lot of the women crooners. Etta James, Eva Cassidy, Billie Holiday, and especially Dinah Washington. Wow. Her voice is a wonderful instrument. Too many singers today beat you over the head with their voice, on every song. They only know one way to sing. But these aforementioned women all knew their voice, and how to command it.
