Yesterday, I went to our local Celtic store for our monthly song circle. One of our regular participants was there and eagerly anticipating her turn to sing. She had terrible breath control, could hardly reach the high notes, couldn't keep the beat very well, and even forgot some of the lyrics. The audience and the other singers loved her anyway. Her song was applauded enthusiastically and when her turn in the circle came again she proudly rose and sang again with much the same quality. She told me afterwards how much she loved being part of our circle. I believe everyone can sing and should sing no matter how you perceive your abilities, because, when you sing you create joy in both yourself and all those around.
