"My own singing - despite ferociously listening to the work of singers I admire - still sounds like a malfunctioning dalek with a bad head cold and a staggeringly poor comprehension that there might be more than one note in any given song... and you should hear my six year old's impersonation of me!"

Well now, I've heard you sing Spleen and I can tell you that its really not that bad. Practice makes perfect as the saying goes!

It's funny how you come across things isn't it; after attending a Morris Dance Out a few weeks ago a flyer was on my car windscreen on my return to it and on it was a quote which I think is very apppropriate...

" Use what talent you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those which sang the best" - Henry Van Dyke
