Hello CM List.  Have not joined in discussions for a while.

Love the sound of the "countertenor" voice.  I think we had one in St
Joseph's (PM) Choir, in the 1950s.  He sang with the sopranos (boys in
those days).  Would like to own a CD of a countertenor.  Could someone
kindly recommend?

Would also appreciate some enlightenment: Is there a difference between
countertenor and "falsetto" singing, such as often done in Hawaiian songs?
(as beautifully done by Barney Morier, if any of you know him).

Thanks.
