Dear Incognitus, He's on the new calendar!  He's not bilocational (that's why he rushes back to his day job after the services). You'd probably have to be received into the Patriarchate of Constantinople and then petition his bishop to cut him in half  . Or just move to Philadelphia. Yes, I know, a fate worse than death. In Christ, Andrew

Dear Sharon, I guess that it may be more fair to say that it is more difficult for females or males to follow a cantor of the opposite gender than one of their own. In the anecdote that I posted above (from the Theophany Liturgy) there didn't seem to be a big problem following this baritone Psalt. However, in my own case, I think that females have trouble following since I'm a tenor. I admit that this may have nothing to do with tonality, but with technique, style and personality: [The soprano choir member asked the new singer, "And good Sir, what part do you sing?" He replied, "Madame, I am a tenor." "Tenor?" she shrieked, "That's not a part! Its a disease!"  ] In Christ, Andrew

Dear Diak, How on earth did you know that I had just received my Pharmacare Prescription Card? In Christ, Andrew

Andrew,
Don't forget this gem:
A mixed choir consists of: sopranos, altos, tenors... and men.

Old cantors never die. They just sing a few steps lower.
