some press notices would lead one
to believe. he does possess an UNI
usual and often very pleasing
voice His Interpretation Of The

was the most worthy of notice in
his program. for throughout the

resonant and pleasing. His en-
cores included Moon OF My De-

had difficulty in remembering the
words. However. the last two
encores. THE Whipporwill" and
Twilight" redeemed him to some
