So kind of you to comment. Glad my writing helps you to appreciate all that Adam does. That is my purpose in writing it.
Many people assume that singing is the most natural thing in the world, and just about anyone can do it. Those with great voices are just naturally blessed. While it is true that some people have physiology that lends itself to a great voice, just like "natural athletes", if they don't study, train, and work their butts off, the blessing lies dormant. They never go far. Saying that Adam's voice was a gift received, for me, minimizes the years and years of obsessive dedication to his craft.
Other folks say, "I don't care how he does it. Don't care about technique. I just want to watch and listen and enjoy. All that matters is how he makes me feel." Fair enough. The magic of that voice and that performance is thrilling on its own.
For others of us, knowledge of how rare such a voice is, and what all has to come together to create the magic adds to the appreciation and wonder of it all. Just like reading the notes about backstage on tour make the set more incredible. Thirty miles of cable? Really? Forty permanent workers and another 40 temp hires at each stop? That is massive. No wonder it takes our breath away. So glad that Brian and Roger decided to spare no expense and create a show that leaves us "deaf, blind, and gasping on the floor."
In the same vein, knowing all that goes into Adam's performance makes me realize I am the one who is blessed because Adam is sharing his craft with me and creating such divine music. How lucky I am to be alive and to see and hear him!

And yes, I totally understand the gratitude. How can you not feel gratitude to someone who can reach right down inside you and mess with your heart?
Plus, because this boy has such a wealth of blessings, he is also very, very HOT,
lulu, soooooo good, so evocative. Like the Eber interview where Adam call in that I posted earlier, gives us a little window into the time when all that is happening was still undreamed of.
