Grating old-timey music!

Okay, it doesn't really grate. But by all rights, it should, and that makes it right up your alley. :) The songs with the guy singing whose vox I think you'd like are 'Mary and Buddy,' I think 'SS,' 'When Dawn Comes,' and probably one or two more; Myspace just crashed on me and I can't listen to the rest.

Mary and Buddy is about his aunt, who is blind, and her boyfriend Buddy, who is in some way also disabled (it wasn't clear). At the show, he told a heartwarming story about how Mary knocked over a candle on the table a few Thanksgivings ago. It set the table on fire, and everyone freaked out and Mary just sat there eating her turkey, oblivious to what was happening. They got the fire out, and a few minutes later, Mary smelled something burning and shrieked that something was on fire. Everyone burst into laughter, and Buddy said, "Don't laugh at Mary." You sort of had to be there. Anyways, it's a lovesong about disabled people! And is most representative of that vocal style you adore so much.
