Friday was a significant day for 3 reasons.
1) It's been a year since I started learning to sing
2) It was the first time since 19(cough cough cough) that I have officially sung in public.
3) It is the firs time since I was in a band at Uni that I've played guitar in public.
2005 Hong Kong 7's. Friday night. Traveling from the stadium to Central. Walking down a long, echo-laden tunnel at a MTR station. My friend Rob and I "lost that lovin' feeling" (how very Top Gun) and, don't you know it, the rest of the people in the tunnel lost it too. I found it incredibly gratifying that I could get a whole tunnel full of people to start singing.
I mention this because that was a time this decade that I have sung in public. However it doesn't count cos I was drunk and it wasn't official. Karaoke doesn't count either. Even the time friend JB and I sang "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and a bra landed on JB's head, thrown by an over-excited lady in the crowd (she asked for it back later).
Anyhow, here is the song

It went quite well. Guitar playing needs work though.

good for you.
i hope you enjoyed every minute of it. singing is one of the most under-rated pleasures in life if you ask me.
When the husband is out doing sport, my latest favourite way to spend the time is dancing around the flat with Eve, singing at the top of my voice. I love it. She likes Tom Jones, but hates the Spice Girls.
