    Hi Josh,

    Posting this to fsxNet Gen echo... looks like the date you sent this message was written as 2012 instead of 2021

    In light of the recent thread on Phil Collins and his more brittle performances of late, which singers over 65 do you feel still have (or had) it after they "got old"?

    I'll start off by adding David Gilmour to the list. In my opinion, he
    has sounded better in all of his solo shows than he did on the final
    Pink Floyd tour. Perhaps the longer periods of time between major undertakings helps. He's been better able to hit his higher and
    falsetto range in later years than perhaps since the early 70s, and
    this is even true of his most recent "big" show at Pompeii in 2016.

    So, who do you have in mind?

    Best, Paul.

    He needs to patch his bluewave reader for Y2K.

    Yep that will be part of that issue I guess.
