George, go ahead and pick at the nits...yes this is used by some to justify 
kol isha, but nowhere does it say in Torah that men were not to listen to 
the women singing.  it is one thing to look at the section and use the 
comentary to convelute the rule from what you THINK you see, but then again 
magicians do that all the time!
