Exactly the opposite story here Maryrrf. My Mum cheerfully told anyone who would listen that I had "a voice like a foghorn" - and expected me to agree. My father once told me that I was obviously wasting my time playing music: "I don't believe you have got any music in you." I have been told often that I can't sing, can't play and that I am not funny. I guess that's up to the audience to judge. One thing I'm not though is unlucky. I have been on the radio in the UK, Germany, Austria and the USA and on TV all over Europe and to my surprise - some of Northern Africa. A little self belief and a lot of luck can help you on your way!
