My Crooner a-Crooning

April 1, 2010

Everybody’s good at something. Some people are good at math. Some can play any sport they try. And others can tie a cherry stem with their tongues in 20 seconds flat. My husband’s thing is music. He sings like an angel, and I love it.

Poor thing had been sick and downright near lost his voice not long before the prelims, but he went on ahead and competed. And I think he sounded great! He did make it to the final round, but wasn’t able to compete because it turned out to be the same night as my brother’s wedding rehearsal.  It just wasn’t meant to be.

I finally got around to downloading the video from the camera, so here it is for your viewing pleasure.

September 7, 2009

  My husband totally stole my thunder as a lullaby singer. I used to daydream about singing to my baby, knowing that my child would be too young to judge my voice. But, proving that “the best laid schemes of mice and men go often askew”, I married a professional singer (AKA The Singing Financial [...]

He Just Can’t Keep From Singing

December 5, 2008

I’ve owed the two or three of you that read this blog (hi mom!) some music for a while now. In a previous post, I bragged on my super-talented husband and his beautiful voice. He had just given a vocal recital and blew us all away with some beautiful music. If I’d had a bit [...]
