      Thank you for sharing your perceptions, Robert. On my third watch I started noticing Gene's subtle shifts in dynamics...I was enchanted, but I didn't have the words to describe it. Now I see why the coaches emphasize dynamics so much. I'm eager to see how Chance's coaching influences Gabriel's next performance.

      I cannot get this performance out of my head. The last time any person's music affected me so strongly was Bill Withers back in the 70s. I am praying Gene's talent gets noticed from this show, so I can be hearing his songs until it's time for *me* to go Home.
