Garbage Divas

My fingers definitely feel like they're gonna fall off. I just finished shredding some power chords on my Little Martin and beating my Macy Gray vocals into the dirt. I've tried to sing in falsetto but I just fucking fail so miserably at it. I have a mid-ranged voice and, as much as I fight it, it's so much more enjoyable when I just accept that high notes are going to sound awful and forced while lower notes are going to be far more attainable and smooth. I just feel more confident. I wish my dad was around to hear me but I'll have to settle for strangers on the internet.

Dad always hated girl singers-- it was a bias brought about by the sheer number of literal divas that he ended up working with when he was off with The Band. You know how, in movies and whatever, the diva stereotypes always whine and bicker with the musicians? Well, if there happens to be two divas in the same ensemble they clash like bitchy titans. My father was a complete diva so he hated to deal with the ladies. He preferred for the ladies to be fighting over him with slavering lust and not with him. He needed control over The Band or he'd lose his shit for all to see. And, by the grace of Beelzebub, he'd come home to my mother and I to bitch and whine about how awful it was to deal with That Girl Singer.

Oh woe is me! She just had to have us play that awful Supremes song! She kept hitting bad notes! How hard is singing on it's own? I sing and play my guitar and I am far superior to her smoke damaged, cracking pipes! Call the Waaaah-mbulance, dad. 

I haven't played my guitar in several months so I was surprised to learn that I remembered almost all of the chord fingerings like I'd played yesterday. And I was able to sing along without tripping over my strumming. I hit some rhythmic snags but I've always been kinda bad at keeping a steady rhythm so it's not a big deal, it just requires more time with ol' Thorn. 

My guitar aside, I've been biting at the bit to create another blog. I hate introductions so that's all you're getting.
