Garou ahhhhhhh

I am far too old to be a crazed teenager screaming for a star. I never did it. I didn't scream for Elvis or the Beatles. Not that I didn't like them. The term bobby socker (teenagers who screamed for singers or actors in the 40s and 50s) is long gone, but there are two men I would like to sit down and talk with. One is George Clooney and I do mean talk here.

The other is Garou, whom I have adored since he lumbered across the stage as Quasimodo in Notre Dame de Paris. Videos of his singing "Belle" and the other songs from the musical are all on youtube.

For Christmas I was given his new CD Gentleman Cambrioleur (gentleman robber). Gone is much of the Joe Crooker gravel and in its place is almost a piano bar singer. He would stand up to the late Bobby Short http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bobby+short&search_type=&aq=f, Sandler ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAGrItMPC2ond Young http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtl-we32QOw&feature=related or Bernadette Peters

A combination of songs and interview is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=LljQM5fK6G8&feature=PlayList&p=90DC4DBEADDEB6C0&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=34

Maybe I could manage a little scream, but definitely a long ahhhhhhhh when I listen.
