sambear and I are now members of Trybalaka 🙂 Yes, I’m still singing much lower than normal, but apparently they liked what they heard. I’m going to have to get back to practicing daily just to build up my vocal…
Audition Soon
I’m still very annoyed with my voice. There’s a fair piece just totally missing from the top of my normal range. I’m pretty solid from an E below middle C up to the G above the treble clef. I can…
Audition Prep

Musical Memories
Oh wow. I’m listening to the B-52s Wild Planet album. The actual album. Like, on vinyl. One of the things unearthed in my parents’ basement this weekend was the first stereo I had when I was about 11. I bought…
More Music
Yeah, I’m talking too much today. I almost forgot that one of the things that was found at Mom’s house was a set of record albums—actual LPs. They went with the textbook for my music appreciation class in college. And…
