A Song in Who's Heart?

Well hello. Why did Vern start another new blog? She's abandoned enough blogs already, hasn't she?

Yeah well. This blog is special.
It's made to document thoughts and musings specifically about singing, and also the gigs and other opportunities to sing I've been given. 

And also so people can get to know how a singer's heart sounds like.

Well, being a singer isn't easy.
Sure, you kinda count as a musician, but the nature of your instrument is different?
Why, you ask?

Simple. Because a musician's instrument is no other than him/herself.

And in order to play an instrument well, you need to learn how to respect the instrument.
If you're a guitarist, you need to learn how to tune your guitar, polish your guitar strings, make sure not to drop it, blablabla.

Equal care needs to be paid as a singer, but rather than something else, you pay that care to yourself.

One of the worst things that can possibly happen to a singer is to lose her voice.

Gawd, I can't even imagine what life will be if I didn't have a voice.

I'd probly die of depression. 

So yes. A singer needs, above all, to learn self-respect.

And it's something I myself need to learn as well.

Cuz out of a good heart flows a good song.
