Re: [Harp-L] Harmonica Resolutions?

Absolutely what Winslow sez! I sing some backup vocals, but always look around to make sure other non lead singers are singing b/u with me. The thought of actually singing a solo, well that's the stuff of nightmares! 

Good on ya Elizabeth!

Good for you, Elizabeth! 

I think that for many of us, singing in front of others is far more scary than 
hiding behind an instrument. If you can do this, then you can really blow the 
lid of any barriers to connecting musically with your audience.

I did it!!!! Only two songs, tonight. But I did it!!!! (That funny sound you 
heard at around 8:45 pm Eastern time this evening was the sound of about 20 
regulars' jaws hitting the floor all at once.) 

Yeah!!!
