Bobby McFerrin...

...was awesome today.

I went to a vocal workshop he put on up in Canada (Brampton Jazz Festival).

He can sing ANYTHING. Very inspiring.

He's really unbelievable talent: effortless, precise, expressive. Saw him perform live once. Definitely worth it.

He's one of those rare guys who's a musician's musician, and infinitely accessible at once. It's too bad that most people only know his one hit. (And it is a good one, even if it has picked up way too much cultural baggage for most people to ever consider it 'hip')
