I'm glad I ain't mainstream anything; I couldn't imagine not singing.

In situations where normally-socialized human beings ordinarily dance, I prefer to sing whenever possible, except of course in situations where it would clearly be inappropriate. Well, sometimes I'll dance a bit, too ~ if the spirit moves me ~ but I'm much less inhibited about singing than dancing, which is probably opposite to most people's inclinations.

Unbridled singing-along is much more socially acceptable here in New Orleans than anywhere else on this continent, which is probably the single most important reason for my settling here thirty-some-odd years ago.

We're in the midst of jazzfest this week (New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival), so I'm like a pig in slop, just happy as can be ~ music everywhere, day and night, no holds barred!
