Well now, how can I put it. Singing has always been popular in our family. Have GREAT memories of MAGIC Saturday nights when everyone sat singing around the piano (played by my Uncle - Winifred Atwell style) after he'd come in from the pub! Some of my relatives even won prizes for singing. Mam and Dad used to get up at the 'Go as You Please's'. Yes I can sing, although I can't hit those top notes like I used to, but I don't sound as run down as I remember my Gt. Grandma used to sound at 80 odd! God bless her. I also run out of puff these days! Maybe I should consider giving up my 6 daily cigarettes. And another thing is I can't remember all the words ... so la, la, la all the way now! Ah, thanks for this thread, Harry. You brought back some very happy memories for me there! Cheers!

Being a bird (Huia, one of the wattled crows) of course i can sing. Actually I sing in a choir. Started as an alto as I thought my voice would have dropped in my 40s then when they were very short of tenors one time I switched to that. Extended my range downwards, so made sure I exercised my top notes, found I had over 3 octaves, albeit the bottom ones were a bit grumbly when I got them and the top ones a bit of a squeak at times. Ruined my voice in the upper tenor range, went very rough like rubbing hand over stiff corduroy. A singing teacher told me to 'stop it or else'. She was singing tenor in her church choir so knew what I was doing to get the right sound. She told me what I had already decided, that I was really a soprano. Gave me 4 lessons to improve my breathing, best money ever spent. Have also joined the basses sometimes in our practices when they are struggling to get the right notes. So I have sung all parts. Have had some small solo parts in a couple of concerts.

I love singing Harry !!!!!!!! Unfortunately it doesn't love me. I 've been told my singing is like finger nails on a blackboard. Doesn't stop me though, especially after a few xx

Was in the school choir (alto) but that was a LONG time ago, singing now restricted to the bath and the car!

Not a note Harry Grayx

Hi Harry, I was able to sing many moons ago, before smoking ruined it, have given up for two years now, hope singing voice improves. Hubby says I hum a little!!!!!! Wonder what he means? I do play the keyboard.
