I watch a lot of YouTube, but I hate ads. Something had to give. I ended up paying for a "Premium" membership and I can tell
you that it has probably been the best $14/mo (USD) I've ever spent. For less than $.50/day the ads disappeared. Sanity
returned.
Premium also includes a benefit I did not know about. I get free access to YouTube Music. Yes, I am late to streaming music,
but I am there nonetheless. It is soo much fun! Every song I've ever heard of at my fingertips along with even more I have not.
Anyway, Katherine Dawn Lang is one of a very few whose voice I consider a musical instrument. She's just kinda perfect that way.
She is just so smoooth. Every note spot on. She has a combination of incredible range, power and breath control!
I was able to see her in concert once at the Paramount theatre in Oakland,CA. Her stage presence was impeccable. Her confidence
as a performer made the entire LGBTQ audience swoon and relax. We all knew we were going to get exactly what we were there for.
While I was not in the first category I was definitely a swoonee.
Towards the end of her program, and returning to the stage after her last costume change, she did some friendly chit-chat with the
audience and then said one of the funniest lines I've ever heard. While very popular she was a bit of a niche singer and she had only
one big mainstream hit, "Constant Craving." So before she started in she told the audience "I would now like to sing for you a medley
of my hit." If you can make fun of yourself like that then I am a fan.
Here's one of my favorite singers and her "hit." If you've never heard of her, I think you are in for a treat. And if you have then sing
along.
And here's a bit of a bonus. He describes her tallant much better from a professional viewpoint than I ever could.

I went to a concert at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco when KD Lang and Tony Bennett sang duets all night long. I sat in the first row. A magical evening.

They getting better every year...
"Call Me Senorita"
Another of those songs that just grabs me when I hear it and then I end up humming it all day.
The first is just a nicely recorded version w/lyrics. I believe the 2nd is the official video released circa 2019.
I actually find it a bit distracting from the song so present both in case you have an opinion either way.

Ambient Chill Techno... Very nice track... Go ahead and give your ears a chance...
Deep Step... Its not he label that maters in music its how it make you feel...
Music is my television... Its not what kind of music that matters... What matters is how it makes me feel within when I hear it... I know I like a song when my arm hairs stand on end...
Best..
