While it is a huge sucky range, back in the old days the people sang more whether at the pub or at home (or some other gathering). They did not have recorded music and full bands/ensembles cost money (side note - a single organist costs less than a full orchestra) so were more a music-producing society and not the music consumer society we are now. More usage means you are better in shape and will have a large range.

If I was drinking and starting singing a song "To Anacreon in Heaven," I will have been drinking waaaay too much.

I probably could handle drinking a bunch and still singing it with some usefulness. Golly, back in college some of us would drink and sing renaissance motets, because... well we were drinking.

One of the side effects of Prosperity Theology (PT) is an abject and extensive loathing of anything decent. CPAC is comprised extensively of victims of PT.

Since it's pretty much a given that participants won't be wearing masks, intelligent people and Sesame characters are smart enough to keep their distance and not attend.

That bow tie is on a six foot long rubber band, and people in Japan just love snapping it against his neck. :biggrin:

CPAC Japan wrote:. In Japan, CPAC Japan (formerly known as J-CPAC) has been held every year since 2017 to give conservative policymakers, officials, and activists a forum to deepen and broaden knowledge. Notable past attendees include former Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Members of the House of Representatives and Senate, Akira Amari, Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's Tax Policy Inquiry, and Former Minister of Defense Tomomi Inada to name a few.
