Maybe I should think of a career in singing?
My friend Todd and I usually get together every now and then, listen to music drink some wine and he plays the guitar and sings. Last night we did the same thing but for whatever reason I decided to join in. Now, I’m a very outgoing person as you all might have noticed, but I’m totally shy when it comes to singing infront of people.
I seem to think I’m pretty good. My singing voice is very similar to Sheryl Crow and also Fiona Apple. I’ve learned to mold my voice to mimic others. I’ve never sang for anyone before, just based on the simple fact that I get all shy about it.
Well, last night the wine was flowing and my confidence was up so when Todd heard me singing along with him to Champagne Supernova he stopped dead in his tracks to listen to me finish out the chorus. His eyes kind of bulged out of his head. He goes, “you sing? I’ve known you for this long and I haven’t heard you sing? This a problem.”
Then we proceeded to pull up lyrics and chords for Sheryl Crow songs and we were jamming the night away. I got a text from him this morning telling me once again how stunned he was with my singing ability. He plays in a band with his friends and maybe we could have one of those chick bands like Paramore or Flyleaf. Hey, dreams can happen. Maybe I should just put this writing thing to the side. Kidding. But I think it would be fun to do some open mic nights. That sounds like something fun for the upcoming weekends. I’m totally down. You can get my autograph now folks..before I’m famous =)
