Nashville. Running the numbers.

Nashville. Running the numbers.

Combine sixteen hours of driving, a 2821 room hotel, one late night trip to WalMart to complete outfits, two transvestites seen in a Wendy’s on the way down, five hyper-active waiters, hundreds of talented musicians, lots of free internet acess, two of the coolest sound techs ever and the absolute best burrito I have ever eaten, and you end up with trip that isn’t about the numbers. It is about the people. (You have my permission to take the previous two sentences out of my cliché allotment for the next two months. It was an accident. Really.) Ann’s Group didn’t win anything. But they turned some heads. They were they only group there doing technically tight three part harmony. Actually they were the only group doing three part harmony of anykind. They did good. Heck, they’ve only been together for four weeks and only practiced once a week. They did very good. They could go all the way. They just need to figure out what all the way they want to go to.

And if I may take a moment to brag on my wife here. If you’ve never heard her sing. (You probably haven’t, I barely get to hear her sing and I live with her.) Then you will know that she has an amazing voice. It has a richness seldom heard. Just beautiful. On top of that she can make up any harmony part to any song as she sings it. That just blows my mind. I’ve had years of voice and other music lessons and I can only sing harmony if I memorize it note by note. Ann rocks.
