So, who sings?

[Melody]

I'll be audition and hopefully joining the Bay Area Showcase Chorus, which is a Sweet Adelines International (women's barbershop) chorus in January. And it had me wondering -- who else here sings?

Mel who'll be singing bass

[songlady]

I am an elementary music teacher, so I sing all day long My emphasis was in voice during undergrad and have a masters of vocal peformance.

[Bad JuJu]

I can sing...if I want to clear a room really fast.

Seriously, I'm in awe of people with good voices. And musical talent is all around me in my family, but skipped my own self entirely. My brother can play anything he puts his hands on (though the violin is just now kicking his a$$), his eldest son plays piano, his youngest son plays cello, my dad even in the depths of Alzheimer's can still play a tune on his harmonica, and my 10-year-old niece toured Italy with her youth choir (from Juneau, AK) this past summer, so she's got the pipes her Aunt JuJu didn't get, apparently.

Good luck with your audition, Melody! (Hey, is that really your name?)

DH sings - kind of a James Taylor-esque style and sound. Works for me!
I only sing in the car. When I'm alone.
My usual request comes as "Hey, why don't you sing "By the Window" and we'll help you out?"
Good luck with the audition!

I sing. I play oldtime music with my DH, mostly fiddle tunes. But I also sing unaccompanied (with no instruments, voice alone) Appalachian ballads from before 1940, some from the 1800's. They are usually very long (8 to 20 verses long or so) and they depict love, mayhem, gallantry, betrayal, stabbing, drowning, poisoning, and lots of other fun things! I can sing about 30 of them by heart. Music is not what i do for a living, but I do perform occasionally in public and at events.

Oh I sing alright - tho most who are within earshot wish I wouldn't.
And no one has ever paid me for it either...........

...am thinking they are trying to tell me something.
