So I guess I stopped updating here, or anywhere for that matter...
We lost our gal vocalist, so I sing now; we decided I should be the lead on "Black Water", and so I do it, as well as singing low harmony on about 15 other songs.
This is a lot of fun, although I believe my voice is pretty much unremarkable. I'm on key, but there isn't a lot of personality to it. It's vanilla. That's very good for harmonies, where it blends nicely.
The reason I started singing is Claritin (Loratadine), daily. I've spent my whole life with inflamed sinuses, but for the last few years, my nose is wide open, full time. Now that I'm not fighting my own skull, I know I can sing freely at any time, and it makes me want to do it.
That, and driving around listening to Belle and Sebastian. Their main dude Stuart Murdoch writes amazing melodies.
