I Sing, Too/July 5 Prompt
You’re out with friends for the evening and have ended up at a Karaoke Bar. You’ve all agreed you will sing at least one song. What song will you sing? Why that one?

I've only done karaoke once, on eve of my wedding, after they fed me fuel from the bar. I'm not a public singer, though I could be. I sing around the airport when I'm alone. I sing in the car when we go on trips. I sing from the front row in church and during children services before Sunday school to lead the group. No has made me shut up, which is good. I like to sing, all the time, which gives me pretty strong vocal chords for a soft spoken guy.

So, if I'm going to nail a song at a karaoke bar, if there's one around here (I've been asking for awhile) it would be, "All of Me" by John Legend. Pretty much all the songs I link in "Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋 I can sing, at least along, or accompany. The list would be pretty long, because I've been singing "Amie" by Pure Prairie League forever. I'll join Eric Clapton on "Lay Down Sally."

I do prefer female artists, though. I like the challenge of matching Sara Bareilles on "Gravity" and Sarah McLachlan on just about anything, but the penultimate would be Jessie's theme from Toy Story 2. I can wade into the first two albums of Norah Jones with ease, too.

I've written my own lyrics, but lack skill for instruments. Though, there are plenty of musicians in this house. Just no collaborators.  I've considered singing my songs acapella but find it hard to share, unless perceptions change. Youtube audience varies from one to five hits. Someone here once said they would collab with me long ago (Michelle), but we drifted apart.

That's more than you wanted/needed to know. What is it about me that wants to share? *Think* At least, I fulfilled the July 5 obligation of:

The Original Logo.

Hey, Bethany. Remember when I sang, 'give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now'? RHC
If you don't know who she is, it's a bit of a recurring theme in my blogs now. Inside thing.
