I always avoided being recorded when singing as I felt that my voice was not good. My kids would get embarrassed when I sang and later a friend tended to use constructive criticism when discussing my singing but that just left me with less confidence than ever.

The first time I heard myself singing was the recording that Ebbie made during the Saturday night concert at the Getaway in 2005. Granted, I was using a mike and had the best accompanist possible (Kendall playing guitar)but I was pleasantly surprised that I stayed in tune and did some justice to the song. I know I don't always sound that good, sometimes it comes down to choice of songs.
