[edit] Article re-written

I have completely re-written this article to remove the copyright violation and added references to establish and verify notability. See Talk:Nathan granner/Temp. Even if a GFDL license were provided for the original material, the content was overly promotional and not written in an encyclopedic style. This has now been remedied. If the article is kept, it needs to be moved to Nathan Granner (note wrong capitalization in the current article title).

The article's creator, Ngranner, may also be the subject. If so, he should refrain from editing future versions of the article, as per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and add material to be incorporated on the article's talk page instead. Voceditenore 07:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The article's originator, NGranner unfortunately is the subject. However, the rewritten piece from Voceditenore is sufficient for the purposes of posting aforementioned content. He would be happy to enter content or what he may think of as pertinent (and factual) content on the talk page to be administered checked and entered by a third party.
The originator wishes to apologize for breaching some of the main policies of Wikipedia and will defer to any sanctions applied, and conform to the dictums therein in any further posts without regard to subject. It was not intended as a promotional piece.
As there was an article specifically mentioning Nathan Granner, the content originator felt warranted in putting an explanation of the named in context. Ngranner 00:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry, lots of new editors make the same mistakes. It's all part of the learning process, and tagging usually results in a good article in the end.[1] If the administrators decide to keep the re-written article, I'll be happy to keep an eye on the talk page for any additions to be made. On a non-encyclopedic note, I thought the recording of 'Sally Gardens' at isound was beautiful. Best wishes, Voceditenore 09:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

-Thank you very, very much. I am honored.-

  • The Salley Gardens was recorded in late summer 2005 in a two hour session. I was plagued with bouts of reflux during the whole process of "departure". This session was no different. The second half of that day's process, however, was pretty remarkable. As the voice warmed up, it opened into the rich dark sound my voice has a tendency to have as my matures. You can hear it on the recording where in the second verse, that sound comes out.

The session was helpful to me as well, inasmuch as technique was concerned, for I learned how to really delve to an emotional depth with the ability to keep a balance of operatic technique as well as close micing technique.

This piece was also my first of two solo pieces I learned when I first started taking lessons at 17 years old. The other being Caro Mio Ben. On stage I say that I got a ranking of Three at the high school state music contest in Emporia, Kansas, but I really got a Two. "Shows Promise"

I think it was the last recording done one on the "Departure" CD.
