I sing a lot, all over the place. Sometimes I scare people in the toilets here because I walk in singing, carry on singing while using the facilities and then walk out singing. Its very difficult not to - the acoustics in there are too good to be left unused!

Being able to sing well is a great thing, not least because if you have a naturally good, responsive voice then its like learning to play guitar on a £2000 vintage Les Paul with a big ol' stack when everybody else can only get their hands on brokendown rusty ukeleles. You can practise and learn different techniques and songs - how good it sounds in the end mostly depends on the instrument you were born with and depends very little on what microphone, amp or effect you might want to put onto it - not the case with guitars or keyboards.

Hooray for singing. If you can't sing then learn to sing. Teach yourself. No excuses.
