No Really... I Can't Sing. And you don't want me to try. |

Apparently, the more you do it, the better you get. But if you're not a singer, you're not a singer. |

It's all in the selection process.
If Ringo sang it, you can too.
If Annie Lennox sang it....maybe not. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I've been told I sing well, but they were lying to make me feel good. I have heard my voice recorded. The only time I sing is to harmonize with someone, or if I want someone to hear one of the songs I have written. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I sing much better than I play guitar. That doesn't say much, so how about if I brag that I got a college scholarship for vocal music? I used to have that on my resume. It was true, but I don't remember if anyone asked me how much the scholarship was. It was $50. That was probably commensurate with my talent, but that was a lot of money back then. A full ride was $125 a semester. |

Sometimes I succeed, sometimes it's almost, when it's going to be a "never get it" on a tune I know better than to try. |

I'd like to think/hope that I'm better than most and not near as good as the rest.
I was thinkin' bout this the other day.
I'd say that 40% of the Amelia gang was singers who played guitar. Another 40% were musicians who where more into running scales and the 1/4/5 thing.
The last 20% could do both. |

| I sound like Tom Waits when I sing so that may not count for much with you all but really, if you play, it's kinda hard not to sing a bit here and there as well. |

First, the huge scholarship I got was because the choir director was a neighbor and was pissed that the college pulled my academic scholorship after a year.
Second, I'll believe you if you can pronounce Kamiah. |
