Sorry, forgot to comment. I use another subject to avoid off-topicing.

I have been looking forward for decades to the day when I hear the question:
"Grandad, what is that clumsy obejct that the last century singers hold
in front
of their mouth?"
I really cannot understand why it is so difficult to construct a
solution to capture
a singer's voice without a bulky microphone. Yes, there are lavaliers on
the cheek
and forehead, and headset mics, but they don't have the same sound as a good
vocalist mic, and don't look too attractive either.
It is possible to shoot a picture from a distance without puttting
anything in the
way between a nice looking singer and the camera, but it isn't possible
to capture
the sound in the same way. (Yes, I know about the differences between
acoustics
and light travel.)
Of course in some music, such as rap or hip-hop a microphone is used as part
of the performance. But I'm not sure if I'd miss that either.
