A Song in my Heart...

It’s official. I’ve found a new voice teacher and I’m singing again. I’ve forgotten how happy it makes me. I was recently told (after singing a song or 2) that I was “buzzing”.
This new teacher spent the first 2 sessions testing my voice. It was amazing, remembering what it was like to just sing.
We’re going to spend the first couple of weeks working on my middle voice and then we are going to branch out and up. I’m currently working on an old folk song, “A Long Time Ago” and “What I did for Love” from A Chorus Line.
The coolest thing about it all was that he tested my range. I’ve never really know what it was. He told me I had a “Singable” two and a half Octave range.
Tee-Hee…

Rude Awakening

            Five years ago, my brother gave me a Dreamcatcher for my birthday.  Since then, I have yet to have a nightmare if I am sleeping under it.

            But sometimes the good dreams are the worst…

            She visited me again last night. This time it seemed for good.

            A warm, sweet, wonderful dream.

 

            Then I wake up. Happy.

            For a few moments…

 

            Stupid Dreamcatcher…

 

Laughing in the Dark

            There’s something lurking in the corner of my room. As of yet, it will not speak. I don’t know if it means me harm, but it keeps me awake at night. When I first moved into this room, I would wake up at night fists up, expecting an intruder, seeing nothing.

            I think I feed it, giving it strength. When I am walking the tightrope, he comes out to say Hi.

            Perhaps I should make friends. Leave it treats. Maybe it’s cold. I put the space heater in the corner.

            It has been a while since I’ve had this kind of company. Does it have a name? Maybe I’ll call him Charlie…

            It beats sleeping alone.
