Speaking of music,,,,,what "nerdy" singer do you secretly adore?

I didnt know what other word to use but nerdy,, but you will get the picture when I tell you a couple of my favorites. Or maybe they are not so much "nerdy" as they are just off the beaten path singers,,maybe even a bit odd.

Barry Mannilow, ( ohhhhhh Mandy!!) John Dever ..( rocky mountain high,,hehe) , Anne Murray.

I also like Tom Jones,,,,,,,as does my Granny Ms. Mouthy!! He is not nerdy at all, but well, in his own element I guess.

So if you love Celine , or Mandy Moore, thats cool, so spill the beans.

When I was a little girl, Honey by Bobby Goldsboro used to make me cry. I mean really cry. Don't know why.

Honey

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in, all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart, kind of dumb and kind of smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me awake all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sitting there and crying
Over some sad and silly late late show
And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring, when flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And Honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone, the angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey

And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved

I don't know if you would consider him 'nerdy' but mine is Lightnin' Hopkins, a guy that didn't like "doin' it over", by which he meant, singing the same song twice.

He liked to make it up as he went, just singing about whatever was on his mind at the time. This made it very difficult in a recording studio.

True blues from the heart.
