I have sung some duets in church in the past, but these days I don't sing much other than at home on occasion. Maybe I need to add some singing back into my regimen for health's sake.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br />Join us on May 4 with your post of Reflections about this year's A to Z.<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481012230858682867.post-51718554398724779922015-04-25T22:51:12.692-07:002015-04-25T22:51:12.692-07:00Thanks Suzy though it could be because I was nervo...Thanks Suzy though it could be because I was nervous! ;) I'm curious what happened that you stopped singing publicly...sorry to hear. <3elly stornebrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901483285489789483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481012230858682867.post-27119945790965416332015-04-25T20:02:13.690-07:002015-04-25T20:02:13.690-07:00You sing so well.

When I get busted like that, I either pipe down, or if I feel I am really on a roll, I just sing louder... This was an entertaining and enlightening post.

I just love being involved in my women's choir. Our motto is that "Singing is Cheaper than therapy!" Our big concert is coming up soon. Too bad you're so far away or I'd invite you. I enjoyed watching you singing that duet of that mummer's song. Fun stuff!
