If you could have the voice of any one singer...

...whose would it be?

I'm thinking Louis Armstrong. Or any good operatic baritone. Armstrong would be an unbeatable party trick 😀

If I could sing with a woman's voice, non-classical/opera, it might be Ella Fitzgerald. Imagine if both wishes came true – I could do the full Ella/Louis duets!

Alternatively, I could be cursed with the voice of Bob Dylan...

Tom Waits

Male: Nat Cole.
Female: Stevie Nicks.

And if I could play guitar: Jeff Beck (knocks Clapton into a cocked hat).

As far as guitar goes, there are hundreds of people better than Beck, in the acoustic world there is Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Al Pettaway, Martin Simpson, Reverend Gary Davis, Robert Johnson, Tommy Emanuel, Doc Watson, Rory Block, Stefan Grossman, and many more. These guys actually know how to play stuff on guitar that is not just fast licks in a rock band.
