Charlie, your message reminded me of how great it feels to sing in spaces that have good acoustics, whether architectural, or in nature. I was in the Lewis and Clark Caverns last week, and I really wanted to sing something and hear the acoustics of the caverns, so at the end of the tour, I stepped to the back of the line to be the last person out of the exit tunnel. I turned around to face the cavern tunnel and sang the beginning of "Vedrai, carino". Just a few people and the tour guide were left to hear. I told her that through the tour, I had been really wanting to sing to hear the acoustics. She would have let me, I just didn't ask while in one of the great rooms. Darn. Next time.

A friend of mine owns a plant store that is in a large, old, high tin-ceilinged room. The acoustics in there are great for singing, also. Stairwells, domes, large old churches, canyons, mine shafts, .... all interesting for the sound.
