I wonder?

I wonder whit it might be like, singing in a group, with David Phelps.

To me, he has the finest voice I have ever heard. Both range and quality, and warmth. I think it might be like playing basketball with Michael Jordan. Some have commented that when they were in a game, they became "spectators" and just watched him play. They were playing with the best.

When singing with David, they are singing with the best. When David is singing, I look at the "reactions" of those behind him. Russ Taff is a great example. Russ has won many awards for his singing, and is a great singer in his own right. He sang with the GVB. He would become quite animated when David hit some of those high notes, not just David, but others, he appreciated brilliant performances.

In this performance, "Let Freedom Ring" ..... one of David's early "home runs," Russ really shows his appreciation for a brilliant voice. This one was shortly after 9/11, very emotional anyway. Guy Penrod puts the "whip cream" on .......... then David puts the "cherry" and top and brings all to their feet. The group even did this song at the White House. When David left the group for a while, they never sang it, it was strictly David's song and no one could duplicate his effort.

He hits another one on "At The Cross" which I highlighted in an earlier post. In that one, watch the anticipation by Wes, Mark and Michael ..... they know what is coming, and they become very animated. I have heard Michael English refer to David .............. as ............... "The Voice" ......... nice compliment.

I played basketball with Michael Jordan, golfed with Arnold Palmer, played baseball with Derek Jeter, tennis with Roger Federer, played football with Dan Marino, and sang with .... David Phelps.
