CARPENTER ANYTHING BUT BORING

ON APRIL 5, I read the concert review of Vince Gill and Mary-Chapin Carpenter by staff writer Mark Morrison.

I found his criticism of Carpenter abusive, vile, harsh and unnecessary. It offends me how he could make such comments as "she ought to stick to the fun stuff" and "on slower numbers, Carpenter bordered on boring," without considering how well she actually performed.

I attended the concert and discovered Carpenter to be vicissitudinary, original, energetic and overall delightful. I stand tenaciously by this view. VALERIE WOODSON ROANOKE
