Since I was little I've always wanted to sing. I would try and rope my sister and friends into starting a group. Of course none of them were interested. I never got any encouragement from my mom so never really pursued it. I've taught myself how to sing and even took a few classes to help with getting a fuller sound. I have friends who've heard me sing and say I'm pretty good. Although I have no idea what I sound like. I've never really heard myself (not including in my head) sing. I do sing in my church choir and have done some small group (with 3 or 4 people) songs and even sung in a group through my church which is by audition only.
My secret dream would (besides joining that group again, but right now it's not an option) would to start a Christian group. The hard part is finding people with the same dream, and those I trust. I don't know how to pursue this. I hate to go to those sites online and try to find someone looking for the same thing. It's just you don't know who's out there who's serious and not a scum bag.
Now I don't want to do this to become someone famous but to go around and spread the word of God through song. I find I do miss being part of a band. I miss the feel of the music when I played my trumpet. I miss being able to help people forget their troubles, even if it's for a couple hours.
I don't know if some of you know but Daddy is a VERY good singer. I would love to do a duet with him. But it's like pulling teeth just to get him to play our trumpets for fun. I would even play the piano while he sings. I think that would be awesome.
Why do guys have to be so difficult?
Who knows...maybe this is something that'll just have to be put aside...
