I sing bucause I just can't not...if that makes sense. Long before I ever got paid for it, I would sing all the time, happy or sad or even not thinking about it all, I sing. (makes me hell to live with.) My daughter doesn't sing because some clown somewhere told her she couldn't and it's true she doesn't hear the notes the same way I do but is a flawless, pitch-perfect reproduction of notes singing? I wish I could meet up with whoever did that to her and strangle them, they denied her the best emotional outlet going, aside from a huge cry or a lung-splitting scream,neither of which is nearly so socially acceptable. When we were in Jamaica last year I noticed just about everyone there sang, loudly, all the time and a more laid back and cheerful bunch of people I've seldom seen. O.k. maybe it wasn't just the singing but I bet it was a contributing factor.
