I spend some of my spare time singing the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, which is chock-full of talented performers and singers. As in any artistic group, there are at least a few standouts, some of whom sing in basso profondos or clarion tenors and some who can dance ballroom or ballet with equal elán. And in most auditioned arts organizations, jealousy can spring up when great talents vie for the same solos or dance parts.
