...musical ability is absolutely stunning. He weds prodigious theoretical background to an impossibly eclectic knowledge of genres and an almost perfect instrument to an impish personality. He weaves a sonic experience this is merely unique on recordings but unparalleled in person. When singing solo, McFerrin leaps from rumbling, nearly sub-sonic depths to breathy, almost dog-whistle highs with alarming fluidity. He doesn’t need accompaniment, because he simultaneously functions as his own bass, treble and percussion sections all in one.

Issue #2 of "True Story Swear to God" by Tom Beland (Clib's Boy Comics; 40pp; $2.95) continues a series that may be painful to read for some - like me. Sub-titled "The true story of a real-life romance," the series chronicles the author's meeting and courting of the love of his life. It can be pretty brutal stuff for the lonely and bitter, yet hopeful too, told as it is with such enthusiasm and charm...
