Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - earlier demo recording of Too Much To Lose

I have listened to this song about 5 times now and I don't see 'nasal' as being true. I use high quality earphones and the only thing I have noticed is he is not close to the microphone, also the recording technique was different back then from his later recording of this song. Maybe with a pair of common computer speakers it would also sound thinner or nasal. His voice is not coming through his nose, but is from his vocal cords in his chest, diaphram etc., much like he always sang when he was younger. Nowadays he may be singing more through his nasal passages at times, but not as much as he was the year before his bad illness.
