gotta love the good doctor...seuss that is. yesterday was "read across america" at our school, and all the fifth grade classes sang the RAA theme song (written by glen weiss). last year i made a super-quick recording on my little digital box (d12) that records/burns cd's... it was quick and dirty, and not the greatest sound-quality, but it worked. i hate the tone of my singing voice, so instead of recording the words onto the cd, i decided to just record the melody line with my guitar; i figured people could sing along to that... i figured wrong. three of my colleagues told me they couldn't figure out what to sing. here i thought i was making it easy on them (or on their ears at least!), when i unintentionally made it more difficult. it seemed like a win-win situation: they wouldn't have to hear how horrible my voice actually is--no american idol aspirations here!--and they would still get to hear the melody to the song.
oh well. the fifth graders did alright, especially considering that some of them had only heard the song the day before when we practiced together with all the classes in the multi-purpose room. they sounded SO GREAT in there that day!! they kinda seemed to freeze up when it came to the actual performance though...
