LOL Jim, nobody accused me of being quiet ;D
[quote author=Tom]Not me. I'm able to belt it out with no audio support.[/quote]
When I was first asked (at zero notice) to sing God Bless America at a retired guy's club I'd applied to join, I almost blew their audio system out. After that episode, I don't use a mic for 150 or so people in the audience.
As an aside, my friend is the choral director for a local chorus. We were sitting on our boat anchored somewhere on the CA Delta last year, when I turned on a favorite Welsh song and said " this would sound good with 4-part harmony in your chorus". Sure enough, he's included it in the chorus' upcoming performance, albeit sung in English. Last Monday I was invited to attend a choral practice and was introduced as "my buddy Tom who came up with the idea for this song: He's here to audit you singing, and will be back in a couple of weeks to sing the song to you in Welsh".
Oh crap! I don't want to sing to this august group. But, Ernie being the creative guy he is, told me privately "You're going to belt it out in Welsh, and the chorus will be humming behind you and it's going to sound great".
