Oh, don?t get me started. I?ve tried for many years to ignore poor 
intonation. Really hard. It seems to me that people in general aren?t 
bothered by this sagging of pitch in the ?greatest? of popular singers. The 
problem seems to prevail all over. My ?favorite? is the Mamas and the Papas 
with that ?Sunday Monday? when the chorus chimes in a 1/4 tone flat. I would 
gather they did the takes separately but my body just goes into spasms. BUT, 
I _AM_ getting more tolerant - I think. I especially get a humbling feeling 
when I think I?ve done a great performance of something and get the tape back 
- a bit out of tune. 
The big picture...the big picture...the big picture...
