LN - HearME has let me HEAR several songs I have read about but never heard before. It has let me HEAR renditions in different styles of old favorites of mine. It has let me HEAR the voices of people I will probably otherwise only know through print. And has let me HEAR original songs from performers I would probably NEVER have heard in any other manner.

It has allowed me to SING for people who have done marvelous things for my ego with their response to my singing (thanks everyone) affording me great pleasure, and they seemed to have enjoyed it as well.

And with the text chat available as well, you can not only listen and sing, but hold conversations without messing up the performer (unless you're a compulsive reader such as I, who cracks up about the text while trying to sing...)

it's not perfect, but it's one giant leap forward...
