When I saw the comment that "Rob can't get his voice up that high
anymore", Last Plane Out immediately popped into my head.  But you're
right, it doesn't have that same raging, screaming intensity that Koz
does....it's still my favorite track off of Fibromoon though.  My 5 year
old twins commented on that one "he sings like a girl!"  hehe.  However,
they continue to request that song the minute we get into the car, every
single day.

I would LOVE to hear Koz in concert, even if he sang it lower, but it's
gotta be Rob!  And they HAVE to have that string crescendo at the end. 
But unless they schedule a Toronto-area show (hint, hint, guys, if
you're checking the list), I'm not gonna get to hear ANYTHING!
