Praise

I have variously said:

Howard and I are friends and fellow musicians of thirty-some years [circa August 2019], and time has leveled the differences between us. But when I came knocking at his door in 1981, hesitantly asking "Is this the house concert ...?", the differences were formidable: ten years difference in age between us, combined with me being an introvert neophyte singer-songwriter and Howard being a seasoned veteran who gave house concerts ... I didn't even know there was such a thing as a house concert until a mutual friend suggested I go to his upcoming house concert.

And:

Howard Kranz is the greatest singer-songwriter you've never heard, unless you've heard him, in which case form your own opinion.
