Thread Name: They Said I couldn't Sing
Subject: RE: They Said I couldn't Sing
I wasn't allowed to sing as a child! I endured Delcato therapy, a splendid way to torture children! I was expected to crawl for 45 minutes a day. (Not all at once, fortunately.) Walk like a chorus girl pretending to be a tin soldier, and NOT sing.
Blessedly I only endured a year and a half of Delcato torture. In high school, I took voice lessons. They were one of the few bright spots in a wretched adolesence. I loved them passionately. I reccomend the experience. I LOVED singing in Italian. (I don't speak Italian, I just sang in it once.)
With regards to lousy voices, have you ever heard of Edity Piaf. Her voice was anything but great, but oh how that sparrow could sing! (Piaf is French for sparrow.)
