Make Your Own Kind Of Music*

by Leslie

It’s a good thing Dave was off today because I discovered something awesome, thanks to Laurie. She posted recently about a site called SingShot that I visited immediately. It was there that I found the thing that would bring my family and me six hours of musical delight: on-line karaoke.

You may be thinking, “Really? Six hours?”

Yep. But that’s about par for the course with us. Dave and I are the same people that, after discovering the text to speech feature on the new laptop, spent about an hour making Microsoft Sam say a variety of bad words and naughty phrases.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a compatible microphone for recording at SingShot (and my songs turned out with the music playing about 3 seconds ahead of me). So I headed over to KSolo as recommended by Pokerboss in Laurie’s comments and recorded one for ~~your listening pleasure~~ you. You can hear me singing “Faith” as made famous by George Michael here. I’m not sharing because of the great singing, but because of the great fun.

*Mama Cass Elliot sang “Make Your Own Kind Of Music.”

Make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

Great lyrics. Learn them. Love them. Live them. And send me the links to the songs you make. I’d love to hear you sing!

I’m so glad you guys are enjoying this so much. I bought a mic and camera tonight. I just might be recording myself. Your song was great! Seriously!!

First of all, I stopped by over here to tell you that I had a dream about you last night. LOL.

Second, I believe your hubs and mine are alot alike, my hubs did that voice thing last week with the most bad words he could think of and he turned it up really loud. I was laughing so hard I couldnt breathe.

I’ll have to try out that karaoke. I LOVE to sing..just not in front of anyone except the hubs and kids.

You have a really nice singing voice! I always enjoy it when bloggers post video and audio of themselves, so I can hear their voices. You sound just as sweet as I thought you would.

And, oh my lordy, you will not be hearing my singing voice anywhere on the internet. It would bring great shame upon my family.
