Fun Singing Website!


Hey there!

Have you been practicing? Are your vocal chords getting tired??? Give them a rest. Let someone else do the singing for you. This is a really interesting website I came up on. You type in the words you want to hear sang and the system sings it right back to you. What it does is put words of different
popular songs together from a whole slew of singers and has it play back to you.

Here's the sight:

Let them sing it for you

Gotta run -

Keep singing (or listening)

Offering your talents to others


Yes -- I'm still alive. I had a busy couple of weeks and have finally got a second to write here.

Well, I had a great time this past Friday singing at the Texas Children's Hospital. Carol Herron, who runs their Arts program for the kids was a great help to me and has asked me to return. I'm definitely going to do that. Being able to help others in whatever capacity I can, is more than sufficient compensation for myself. I've said it before, but I truly believe we are all here to help one another, and not for our own wants.

Just a note that if you too are looking for somewhere to start....Volunteer yourself. Look for festivals or organizations that need entertainment or might like it. Yeah, you won't get paid -- But the reward far outweighs that. Plus...you get to practice singing. And if that's what you shine at best -- Go for it!

Google up festivals in your local area or state. You can find it if you search. Here in Texas, as an example, the state has a site that tells you of upcoming events that are looking for music and singers.

Sing online

Hey guys! Found 2 sites that you might all be interested in using. Both sights allow you to choose karaoke music from their extensive library of songs and then record yourself singing. All you need is a microphone and a USB chord and you're on stage in your own home! Great for practicing. All you have to do is sign up and you'll get a trial time period to use it. If you like it, go ahead and purchase some time on it.

Let me know if you get on there and record yourself so I can hear you. I'll let you know of my recordings too. (I'll show you mine if you show me yours.)

OK....

Have a great one!

Singing with a Cold?

Ok...so I had a feeling this was going to happen.

Too many people around me have been sick.

And it so it follows.

I got a cold.

A nasty, runny nose, eyes tearing up, scratchy throat cold.

Yeah..

That got me to thinking. What does one do when they have to have to sing with a cold? Get a Rhinoplasty? Get a stand in? Well, here's a clue....click on the link and I'll tell you more.

You read on....

I'm going to get me some juice.

Is your Voice Attractive?

Hey there fellow singers out there.

Thought I'd drop you a line. I've been out on for a few days in Lake Charles, Louisiana gambling some money and donating it to the Coushatta there. They were very happy to oblige me and take my money. I had fun nonetheless and will no doubt be back again in the future.

In the meantime, I'd thought I'd leave you with a link to a little site that you can provide your help with experiments online. One of which is very interesting. It deals with the Male voice and which you find most attractive. It takes 5 minutes and you need Quicktime to do it.

If you've ever wondered if the Male voice has anything to do with attraction, give it a whirl.

Just go to:

Hope the labor day was great -

Laters!
