Caitlin's musical tastes are along the lines of American Idol and Taylor Swift, whereas mine are steeped in classical music (from childhood, whether I wanted it or not) and the folk craze of the mid-'60s. So who knows where this musical experiment will end up. I think she's a little young (7) to be starting, so I hope Mom doesn't Craigslist the guitar due to lack of storage space.
Sweet. You gonna practice a tad and post us some sound soon?
ReplyDeleteOh hell no! At one time, I would've, I think. I used to be able to sing pretty well. I'm 57 now, and that little muscle ages along with all the rest of you. I think I peaked at around 45, which is usual even for professionals (though too many of them just go on and on until they're "speak-singing", which I hate, or screaming off-key like Liza Minnelli).
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to the Unitarian Church this past Sunday, we sang a familiar hymn tune (with Unitarian Universalist lyrics, of course), and it felt so good just to make that sound, to feel the vibration in my throat.
