I go through periods where I love to sing, and periods where I hate to sing. When I was in grammar school, I was the only boy in the Glee Club. I enjoyed singing with them, but took a lot of shit from the other guys for it. So then I hated it. Then I sang with the Men’s Choir at church when I was in fifth grade, but my voice changed, and that ended that. It’s been back and forth ever since. Now I don’t mind it at church, but I’m not comfortable doing it elsewhere.
When I was in high school, there was a serious need for singers and bass players. Everyone who started a band needed a singer and a bass player, and there were really few. Thinking about it now, if I had gotten my hands on a bass and an amp and practiced singing enough, I could have done it. I’m just learning this, 50 years too late.

I can’t sing worth beans…I sound like a cat in heat

I’ve been told I have a pretty good voice, which makes me even less likely to use it.

I sing along with songs that I like. I was in a church choir many moons ago but singing solo – nope.

That’s just a little too much, singing solos…

It wasn’t until I had kids that I got over singing in front of people. It started with 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall — I could get down to the twenties before my son would go to sleep in my arms. At 26, he still never shuts up. Or sleeps.

If I knew then what I know now. People tell me I have a good singing voice, though my range isn’t what it used to be. Sometimes I wonder if I could have done more with it when I was younger. But I guess we all ended up doing what we were meant to do…. so far.. We can still sing in church. 🙂

When I was in choir in 9th grade I refused to sing. I didn’t want to sing. My choir teacher was so disappointed in me as I was one of her favorites. Now I regret my stubbornness about singing. I actually do like to sing, just thought I didn’t back then.
Dumb things we do as kids.
