Well, Dick, I do "sing" in the bath/shower/garden/when pissed. I am an aficionado of opera and choral music. You can't tell me one single fact about Beethoven or Mozart that I don't already know. I love many of the old traditional singers and my musical background, whilst not exactly affording me an intimate understanding of singing technique, hardly leaves me in total ignorance of what singing is about. I find your "you don't get it" attitude to be rather suspicious, actually. I'm going to be having a chat tomorrow with a 77-year-old fellow who wants to be able to play the harmonica in a folk group. I have a feeling that "he doesn't get it," but, instead of pulling rank on him, I'm going to try to get him to "get it." No exclusivity, no closed doors, no mystique.
