The Heir to the Heatherlands

[mdlbear]

Took the household out to Alexander James's concert in Palo Alto last night. Wow!

He has a few of Heather's mannerisms, like the lopsided grin, and uses a couple of the same guitar and fiddle riffs, but he's definitely his own person. More mellow, quieter, and seemingly a lot more comfortable in his skin than Heather was in hers.

And his version of "Creature of the Wood" is just plain awesome.

Oh yes - the concert was wonderful. It was great to be there.

What voice range did he end up being?

[mdlbear]

I'm pretty bad at estimating vocal range, and I don't think his voice has fully stabilized, but I think baritone. Or the overlap region between tenor and baritone; he didn't seem to be pushing the edges.

That's all I need... Alexander James in my range.

Sigh. Sounds cool. I'm profoundly curious but I expect it will be a long while before I get to see/hear/meet him.

I completely forgot the show was last night; I'm looking forward to his concert at Westercon.
