only eight and a half?
you must be kidding

Seriously, though, folks, the shower is a great place to practice singing... warm water relaxes the muscles, privacy, and if all the lyrics you are working on are taped to the wall, what more do you need (assuming you do a cappella)? I sometimes set a tape recorder on the window ledge next to the shower, and then I can listen to what I am practicing, if I am still at the stage of learning the tune as well as the lyrics.

Since I started working out of my home office eight years ago, my commute is a few feet from the kitchen. I still sing in the car, but I rarely have to drive anywhere now that I work at home.
