Well done Claire!

It is not easy to sound natural. Us humans are natural mimics and it is difficult not to copy the first version that you heard.

Try singing a Bob Dylan song and not sound like Bob Dylan.

When I learn a new song I have to sing it to myself many times before I lose the influence of the original artist.

They played my CD at Benningtons and Oliver McElhone said "Hey that sounds like Bert!" I took it as a great compliment.
