Know what I mean?
All of my compositions are in my head. I play through them constantly as I play a few hours throughout each day. Wish I could get to a point of laying them down. I might actually have something to share.
I can sing and I can play. I cannot do both at the same time.

I'm talking about singing WELL.
Have you seen '20 Feet From Stardom.' It's a documentary on the difference between backup singers and stars, and a lot of it is more appearance and personality than skill. Those people can flat BLOW. And they back up everyone, one week it's Conway Twitty and the next it's Ray Charles, then it's on to a sitcom theme song, then movie soundtracks.
Those are people I think sing well, not just carry a ditty.
I just knew I couldn't something like this in my life
