For those of us who don't understand the difference, can someone explain the difference between "falsetto" and "singing the high notes naturally"?

For those of us who don't understand the difference, can someone explain the difference between "falsetto" and "singing the high notes naturally"?
You remind me that when I saw the Time Machine video on VH-1 Classic (yeah, I didn't get to go to the show, I was unemployed at the time), I remember thinking, "Geddy sounds like he's yawning his way...
That's the way they shoot stuff for TV, like when there's a news piece on a band or a musician on 20/20 or 60 Minutes, or whatever: they shoot a bunch of short clips of songs, because they know...
Yeah, he sings the whole song in falsetto. I kinda prefer the Chaka Khan version, as it has some interesting twists and turns, including Stevie Wonder's harmonica playing. I dunno how much harmonica...
OH yeah, and that Quincy that had Pernell Roberts, in a very small role, with like two lines, was a young Jamie Lee Curtis. Quincy is looking for a woman who's asked him to look into the murder of...
I didn't know about it at the time, but someone told me several years later he saw Echolyn in Cleveland, I forget where at, maybe the Symposium? Anyway, he said there were like 10 people in the...
Under those circumstances, Echolyn were actually kind of lucky, as a lot of times, what happens is, the album gets recorded, and new the bosses refuse to release it. There's lots of stories of bands...
I forgot to mention in that Quincy two parter, the one with Buddy Hackett, there's a couple scenes in a hotel lounge with a most interesting band, with two bassists (one right hand, the other left...
No, Regina wasn't on a bicycle, she was on a motorcycle. A guy had ripped off a movie theater, and the description of the jacket he was wearing, the helmet, and the bike matched the one Regina was...
Buddy Hackett and JoAnn Pflug on tonight/last night's Quincy. This was the two parter (though I think it must have actually aired as a movie originally, because the credits on both episodes were...
Yeah, I got that feeling, too. I haven't read the books, but there were some inconsistencies the way he told the stories in concert, e.g. the story about his mum bringing the retirement home people...
A couple years before he went home, Squire did an interview, and somehow the vegetarian came up (I guess because the interviewer was inquiring about the old stories about that actually being one fo...
Oh, and talking about Echolyn in general, I'll never forget having to get up in the middle of Mei, when they played the entire thing, front to back at NEARfest, to use the john. I guess I hadn't...
I suspect wht happened was, the A&R guy who actually signed them to the label, by the time the album came out, wasn't working for Sony anymore, or had been promoted, one or the other. And the...
So wait a minute, you're saying they took a regular one hour drama and aired it in a 90 minute time slot, with extra commercials? Diabolical!
Actually, it wasn't Wikipedia:
Good actors are equally adept at comedy and drama. There's lots of people who crossed that line, like Ossie Davis, Leslie Nielsen, Kevin Kline, etc.
I didn't know that either. Wikipedia says the first season, Quincy episodes were around 80 minutes, for that reason, but when they aired in syndication they were edited down to 40 minutes. Makes you...
June Lockhart, Donna Mills, William Daniels and Robert Foxworth on last night's Quincy.
Well, FETV has dropped Mannix from their schedule, and replaced it with Quincy ME. Watched the first two episodes, pretty good so far. I think I haven't seen Quincy since the 90's, maybe even the...
The best part about that was the intro to the video, where he acknowledges his adrogynous past. I remember readnig in Rolling Stone where they asked him where he got all those NYD albums he holds up....
Miles Davis: Filles De Kilimanjaro
John Coltrane: Africa/Brass
John Coltrane: Crescent
I always liked Nova Heart.
Hans Reichel: Coco Bolo Nights
Pierre Boulez/Ensemble InterContemporain: Ligeti's Chamber Concerto, Ramifications, Aventures ,and Nouvelles Aventures.
Django Reinhardt: a bunch of sessions from...
It's a decent record, not as good as it's predecessors, but there's some great songs on there, particularly Let Me Entertain You, Leave Home Ain't Easy, More Of That Jazz, Dreamer's Ball and Don't...
Steve Roach: The Dream Circle
Steve Roach: Slow Heat
Steve Roach: Shadow Of Time

Yesterday:
Grateful Dead: 5/20/73 Santa Barbara Set Three
Pierre Boulez/Cleveland Orchestra/Juliane Banse: Mahler Symphony #4
Dude, why don't you just go back to the Mirror Universe, where you came from?
That sounds like the story I heard about how Clapton ended up touring with Roger Waters. Apparently, Eric was in a somewhat inebriated state with Roger asked, and said yes before he thought about...
Well, of course he wasn't saying it back in the day! I mean, you're not going to do an interview and say "Oh, I'm just singing with this band while I wait for my old band to get back together". He...
The fact that it's five shows from 1973 pretty much guarantees it's going to be "one of the better ones". The Dead were at their zenith circa 72-74, and almost any show you pick from that era is...
Steve Roach/Vidna Obmana: Ascension Of Shadows (Meditations For The Millennium)
Grateful Dead: 20/5/73 Santa Barbara (discs 5 through 7 of Here Comes Sunshine 1973)
That's a big 6 CD's I...
Finally listening to the Here Comes Sunshine boxset. Listened to first show a few days ago, and I'm gonna try and make it through the second show (5/20/73 Santa Barbara) tonight. Something I'm...
Too much for you, maybe. But I want to hear how much they chnaged things up from night to night. Probably the same songs each night, but did Dave Brock play the same solos in each song every night?...
In Sweden, during the 70's, they had what was known as the "progg" movement
Wikipedia identifies Hanson & Karlson (who did the original version of Tax Free, an instrumental Jimi Hendrix was fond...
Ed "Kookie" Byrnes and Mickey Dolenz were on one episode of Adam-12 today, as a pair of antagonistic bikers. The other episode had both Christina Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Jr. Christina was playing...
Steve Roach/Stephen Kent/Kenneth Newby: Halcyon Days
Van Der Graaf Generator: 20/1/70 BBC recording (Top Gear?)
I've never heard any details about who exactly sued Rod Evans. I just remembering hearing that to avoid having his ass handed to him, he had to give up his royalties, so he sees no money from Deep...
Norm Crosby on one of today's Adam 12 reruns.
If I'm not mistaken, most of the Deep Purple material is credited to the five of them collectively, at least, during the original MKII era they were. Whether that reflected how the songs were...
ELO: Disco?Very!
ELO: Time
Attila as in Billy Joel's post Hassles/pre-solo career band?
Grateful Dead: 13/5/73 Des Moines, Iowa second and third sets (listened to the first set yesterday)
Django Reinhardt: a bunch of stuff recorded in 1934 (not sure which boxset it came off of, I've...
Tell me about it. I don't have any of the previous Tull sets (they're all limited editions, aren't they?), but I might get this. We'll see. I've already bought the new-ish Grateful Dead boxset (as...
FINALLY glad to see Motoreyes being reissued. It may be "just an outtake" to most people, but that's actually one of my favourite Tull songs, as 20 Years Of... was largely my introduction to the band...
Jo Anne Worley, Keye Luke, and Dick Clark on today's Adam-12 reruns.
I guess being a MOR folk singer can have it's benefits. Or it did back in the 60's. As for Grohl, I can totally see him saying, "I want to play a model that's not popular". There was a band from NYC...
Yeah, but Chuck Berry and The Rolling Stones never did Cry Me A River.
Some more interesting guest stars on Adam 12. One episode had Trini Lopez in it. I never did figure out how Trini Lopez managed to come off having not one but two signature model guitars from Gibson....
Ya know, I don't really know the New York Dolls that well. I remember seeing a clip of them, apparently from European TV (from the Old Grey Whistle Test or Musik Laden, something like that), where...
My impression was that Herb was the creative talent, while Jerry was the businessman. Herb was the guy who pushed to have Magma signed (and I always imagined Jerry telling Herb that he was out if his...
Yeah, apparently. I just can't get over the fact that Dr. Early wrote Route 66.
Jin Hi Kim: Sargeng
Steve Roach/Vir Unis: Blood Machine
Steve Roach/Robert Logan: Second Nature
Steve Roach: The Weaving Way
Also listened to the 20th and last CD of the Grateful Dead...
Lots of interesting guest stars on Adam 12 the last few days. One episode had Barbara Hale as the mother of a teenaged drug pusher. Another had Leslie Charleston, a few years before she started...
Well, yeah, I'm well aware of that. I know that prior to the 90's, there were lots of gay entertainers who were very firmly in the closet. There's a recording of an interview Freddie Mercury did in...
re: Jane Hathaway
Apparently, someone actually asked Nancy Kulp about her orientation once, and she gave this roundabout answer, essentially saying she preferred the company of women rather...
I think there were a bunch of different things at work. For one, it was a "new era", and as Mickey Marchello points out in Dare To Be Different (a great documentary on WLIR, the LOng Island radio...
Steve Roach: Painting In The Dark
Angela Cartwright on today's Adam 12. She was in just one scene, when Reed and Malloy go to pick her up from a heliopad to deliver her to the hospital, and they get pinned down by sniper fire.
Steve Roach: Empetus
And a whole bunch of stuff in shuffle mode, in search of some interestnig music to play on my podcast on Monday.
