warming up

I put in a CD a few minutes ago, one I haven't listened to in probably a year or so. I am singing along, coughing in between songs still, but it feels good to give these old vocal folds a decent workout. Sunday morning the praise band slammed a few of my favorite songs, but none were too challenging on my still healing throat. What a difference a few years makes - in May 2000, I stood terrified to sing my first and only vocal jury... stomach full of knots and palms leaving sweat prints on the curve of the piano as I hung on for dear life. I wasn't supposed to be a singer. Turns out I am one, and it feels good. Sunday will bring a solo, and I'm ready.

Okay, third time's the charm... hopefully! I wrote that you are a classically trained singer, and that should be all that you need! Good luck on Sunday :)
