A long time ago, I sang with a couple guys… we thought we were Peter Paul and Mary. My brother and I sang Ian and Sylvia folk music together…. I wish I had a good singing voice, ‘cause I do love music…. all kinds, alas, I have more of a Janis Joplin voice now, and a vey narrow range. I can sing some decent harmony, tho…. Hey!!!! How about an HBO band with our very own pickers, herb’s banjo, my fiddle, and we’ll go on the road, singing and blogging and drinking all that home brew…… we could get a bus, tour the country, let our hair grow, burn incense and wear sandles and tye dyed tee shirts…. Huckstock!! Yeah!!
Thinking with my real name ‘Melody’ I should have lol…… but alas, I sound like a strangled peacock if I open me mouth….. at least my sons are musical :)
I actually have a great singing voice. But I’m too shy. I majored in music in college but switched to social work half way through when I discovered that one of my “courses” was to put on a concert. Like - in front of hundreds of professors and students. Yikes.
I sing in my sleep too - I know - some people talk. I sing. And I sound absolutely stunningly beautiful in my sleep. Except when Mechanic Man wakes me up and tells me I sound like a fog horn and a really bad one.
I try to sing like Elvis and Lou Gramm of foreigner.My significant other says I sound good but, I wouldn’t want to sing Karoke.I also, try to sing like Bon Scott of ACDC.I even sing in the woods. ;-)

My voice is so-so. But that’s all you need for karaoke.

As a young man, I was a singer in a rock and roll band.

Yup. My voice sucks. When I sing, the dogs want to join in. My husband tells me the dogs sound better.

“Do you have a good singing voice?”
My singing voice has made women swoon and men weep. Literally.

An Old Joke:
Zeke: “the first time I ever sang, my voice fell on a thousand ears.”
Joe: “Where Was That?”
Zeke: In a cornfield.”
ba-da-bump.
