It was a joyful part of being part of a community. Too bad we think only "professionals" should sing nowadays. It's a poorer world because of it.
Nowadays we as a society tend to buy or pay for others to provide music. Even when someone actually hires music for an event you'll often just see a "dj" guy with speakers just spinning cds instead of real live musicians.

Be part of the resurgance of real living music for the people!....SING!
I second that Lisa! My husband is a musician on the side - drummer (he has also been know to sign backups too). When he was younger, music was how he made his living. He can be a music snob! I hate that.

Last semester, he took a community college jazz performance course and I think he learned that it is not so bad to help out the young performer to get better. Maybe he is finally learning some patience and humility! The course was definitely good for him.
