The Story Of An Unlikely Dream
To Become A Musician
I'm going all Meatloaf on you today - well not really just a rather naff title because it fit the purpose of the post!
So what is it that I won't do? Well I'll push myself so far outside of my comfort zone it's crazy as long as I have some support. I will try anything I'm asked to do, sometimes I need encouragement sometimes I just need a bit of time but eventually I'll work myself up to it and give it a go. I'll do the most boring of homework, I'll put long hours in, I'll keep on fighting till I get something no matter how hard. I'll be patient (boy is that hard for me!) but I won't ever, under any circumstances, for no amount of bribes ......... sing! I have the most awful voice, it's like a cat got it's paw stuck under a car and a furball stuck in it's throat at the same time. I'm not as offensive as my husband thankfully who has only one single note that is seriously off key. Honestly, I promise you I've heard people sing with a tiny range but he is strictly monotone and it's a really really bad note!! So it could be worse :) My teacher is always bugging me to sing and I have steadfastly refused, he's convinced himself we'll get there some day and it can't be that bad. He even said we'll start with rapping - OMG that's too funny! Erm no - no - no - no! So today I was in a really good mood (yay!) and decided to get this one out of the way permanently so I recorded me singing and sent it to him. If he listens then he'll know WHY I don't sing, if he doesn't tough luck - you had your shot hahaha! The best bit is I sung over one of the few songs I can remember any words to. I'm one of those people who never sings in time, who always changes up the words or forgets them all. I still even though I've sung it a thousand times got all the words wrong - I sent it anyway, it can't get worse! It's just a shame I didn't video tape it because the song really kicks in big time and I was doing some pretty impressive moshing/headbanging! So there you go folks, you will hear many crazy things from me on this journey but that is one thing you will not hear - and you will be very very glad of it trust me! Needless to say .. I will not be uploading the audio file here! I'm sure you'd appreciate the laugh but it's just not going to happen. p.s yesterdays song is coming on very well, I did go electric and it's sounding fab, probably my best yet with some great over the top 80/90's rock ballad type bends! There's a long way to go still but look forward to hearing this when it's done because it's a fun one!!

Learning Time LogHow long I've been learning as at at the end of Mar 2021.
What's This About?One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons. 6 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter. I set a five year goal (Aug 2021) to create a very special song for my 25th wedding anniversary and this is a record of my crazy journey, weird thoughts, strange doodles and unapologetic music obsession!
