No, you will never find me on American Idol or America’s Got Talent or any crazy singing show and probably not in the karaoke bar either, but I do love to sing. I sing in the shower. I sing in the car while driving. I sing at my desk and I sing at my church.
One of my friends says; the Bible says toΒ sing a joyful noise – it doesn’t have to be in key, just sing a joyful noise, and so I do. But I have to admit that while I’m in choir; the Sopranos, which I am, usually get to sing melody. That is the easy to sing part. The radio karaoke part of any song. The part that everybody knows.Β The Altos, Tenors and Bass – they have something entirely different that they sing.
Now I don’t read music, maybe if I did it might be easier, but when I hear the parts for the altos, tenorsΒ and base and I hear what they have to sing… well, Sopranos get to sing the best part, in my opinion. I feel really bad for the othersΒ and I keep thinking to myself: “Lord I love you. I love to sing. But if for whatever reason my voice drops and I becomeΒ an Alto, IΒ would probably end up sitting in theΒ congregation with my husband instead of in the choir loft. Because for me, it’s about the fun not about the know how.”
