Rick once told me "if I thought I sounded like a transvestite, then be the best transvestite singer you can" He also said "there is something interesting about someone with a unique voice". Those words really gave me a lift.
This thread has also been inspiring. Since it was started I have been working on my voice. I keep moving the capo up one fret and singer a bit higher just to see that I can. Still quite shakey, but it is there and it makes me smile & brings me much joy to discover my voice.
Victoria, thanks for the encouragement.
