In the Beginning

Most of us, on the day we were born, drew in our first, fresh, shaky breath of cold air and immediately did what? That's right, we let out a scream that would stifle the banshee's. So, in essence, we have all been singing since the day we were born (excepting those of you who came "quietly" to the world and who no doubt made remedy of silence at the first grumbling tummy or unchanged diaper).

You were born with a voice as unique as a fingerprint and whether or not you "believe" you can sing or not is irrelevant because I am here to tell you that you most certainly CAN and whether you do or not at this point is also of no interest because if you desire to sing....YOU WILL!! and let's face it, despite what you may feel about your voice if you like to sing you are already doing it even if it is only being heard by the bathroom walls.
I have never had any coaching, lessons or other instruct in the art of singing and am in no way trying to establish myself as a master of technique or even that I am that good of a singer (you may judge for yourself if you like by going to www.myspace.com/Fishfight to hear me sing). What I am going to attempt to offer is a philosophy of heart and soul mixed with a strong desire and add to that some practical, easily swallowed advice on how to observe your own body, mind and voice so that you can easily begin to sing and attain whatever joy you choose to receive from it.
I have never attempted to establish a philosophy of anything, nor have I ever "blogged" before, so I can assure you this will be unorthodox at best (which is how I prefer it), but I will try to remain consistent in my approach and viewpoints and have some fun on the way.
Stay tuned!
