So Bye Bye Birdie is 3/5 over and even though I don't sing at all, my voice is spent. After school today, for two hours before call, a friend and I went into the band room and sang and played piano. We kept running back to get more music from the files, and coming back with the strangest combinations. Styx and Tarzan. Queen and gospel. It was so much fun. He had never heard of Styx, so I taught him Come Sail Away, and we found sheet music for that and Show Me the Way, which I hadn't heard in years. Normally I sing in my head voice, because I have a much larger range that way. However, I attempted to belt it out in my chest voice, and only half-way succeeded. I can't make it up to a D like that. But I tried. And I know I sounded awful. But I tried.
My voice is spent. But I'm happy.
Singing is way too much fun to hold back. Go for it!
ReplyDeletesome saint or someone else important, i forget who, said he who sings prays twice..... so singing must be important, right?
ReplyDeleteSinging a song about drugs probably isn't praying twice. But Come Sail Away is such a cool song!!!
