I sang first soprano throughout my school years in chorus and in community singing groups of various sorts. Time has done its work and now I'm second soprano but can still hit the tops on a good day. Singing pure blues is my favorite if asked to choose one, and I can go pretty low in range for zee blues. I never had trouble singing for a live audience. (as opposed to a dead one.)
I play piano and plan to learn 5-string banjo, the accompaniment to Rainbow Connection being the first piece I want to master.
