Tone deaf or not?? Mar 27, 2008 23:24:51 GMT -5

Hi Marty,

I'm still not quite recovered from having to bail on going to Hammerfest.

The remedy has been to listen to music in the car as much as possible. At a dangerously precarious decibel level !! Much like singing in the shower, a person singing in their car is - of course - the best singer ever!! I am Etta James... I am Chrissie Hynde... etc.

Here's the thing... how do I know whether I actually sing on key or not?? How do I know if I have a decent voice?? Is there a way to know this without spending all kinds of money in a recording studio? I've got a small, cheap tape recorder, but it sounds too fuzzy. Wondered if you had any tips - you know, something silly or fun to try.

Nancy,

Play your car radio really loud and sing at the top of your lungs with the windows down. When you get stopped at a traffic light keep singing and glance around at the expressions on the faces of the people in the cars around you. If they scowl and roll up their windows then you might have a problem. But, if they sing along with you with their windows rolled down then you got it babe.

If all else fails, sing Call Of Distress cause everyone can scream their way thru that mess. haha
