I think I should have been born in the 40′s so that I could have become a Pip, a Ronnette, or a Shirelle. I am the queen of learning backing vocals for whichever album I am currently listening to. Not necessarily on purpose either. It just kind of happens. My Father once commented that I am the only person he knows that picks out the accompaniment of a classical piece to hum. I think it started with my Sister and the evening we spent in the basement with her singing lead and me back up, perfecting the harmonies of Diana Ross’s ”I’m Coming Out”. It actually makes a lot of sense, if you know me. I have never been one to look for the spotlight. I like to join in, and help out, but I don’t want to be centre stage. I am pretty much like that in all aspects of my life. So I continue on, picking up the harmonies, learning the ooohhs and bops , staying in the background, but making myself seen a little.
Oh, and Stereophonics, if you are looking for a backup singer, I am ready to go at the drop of a hat!
