It was my dream -- what I wanted to do since I was told I could sing. I was about 12 and honestly, it came as quite a shock to the entire family -- we were very skilled as a group at being tone deaf. The musical director of Berkeley Prep, Michael Joyce called my mother and told her I could sing and something needed to be done to foster the talent. And I love it. Opening my mouth and belting out a sound makes me feel good.
Tonight I am catching up on a few weeks of "Glee" and even though I had the worst morning, this is making me feel better to sing along. So maybe this is something I need to find in my life again. Maybe I need to get out there and belt some songs. Hey -- I live in New York -- what better place to express myself. So I'll look into it and find something. Maybe it isn't too late.
Shera,
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has had the honor to hear you sing, this is something you should definitely pursue. If that British chick can do it, you can. Your voice is powerful, beautiful and brings tears to my eyes. It is your G-d given gift. You can sing as beautifully as Monet could paint. I know the business is cutthroat and terrible in lots of ways and that's a pity but I'd love nothing more than to crowd myself into a little club in NY or on Broadway and hear you belt it out. It's beautiful my friend.
