Day 1

First, I am so excited about all the positive responses and support I have received thus far. I have to be honest. There was a part of me that was really worried that this might be the cheesiest idea I've ever had, but now I'm totally pumped. 


So today I was brainstorming about what to do now. I decided that the obvious place to begin is with practice, practice, practice... But then I thought, practice what? I have a background in classical music so I would need to drag some of that old stuff from my memory, you know, to get the wheels turning again so to speak. But I don't want to just sing the classic stuff. I am very interested in exploring the whole jazz genre. I don't really have a lot of experience with this type of music but I did record a couple of jazz tracks like 7 years ago that turned out pretty good. Of course, all copies of that demo have disappeared from the face of the earth. My parents even lost their copy. Anyway, I have decided to pick 4 or 5 songs from both genres to practice. I will be posting those selections at a later date. 


Ok. The last part of this post was not planned, but I thought it would be a good addition. I spent some of the day singing random songs while the girls napped. Then I got the idea to record myself with my phone so I could listen to myself better. THEN I got the idea to post it on here. Soooo here it is. It is not that great(a few really pitchy moments and a cat in the background), but that is what this thing is all about. I can't improve or go anywhere if I am afraid of my imperfections. 


For your listening pleasure....
