ericcolemanThis weekend was a big step forward.
Except for a few moments, I had given up singing since about 2011. I have gotten up with Toyboat a couple of times. I have done FPN in music circles and such, but mostly I had stopped singing.
Some of it was, I am in a band with an incredible singer, my voice wasn’t really necessary to the proceedings. Some of it was, I was concentrating so hard on my playing. Techniques were changing.
Also, the voice I used for almost a decade was, well, kind of specific to what I was doing at the time. A little harsh, a little staccato, definitely a comedians voice.
I do sing on a couple of songs on Crowes & Consequences, but I was not happy with either. I did those songs live occasionally. But I wasn’t happy with the results. (except for, maybe, some of the live versions of Corvus)
The last few months we have been working on some backing vocals from me. I’m also working on one of the Callenwood songs, and will work on more, since there needs to be a male voice on a few songs.
And a lot of progress has been made.
This weekend, I sang with Cheshire Moon, for what I feel, is the first time. I’m getting a much smoother sound now.
Definitely steps in the right direction. And there will be more as time goes along.
