Well Imscrewed up today and failed to play outside. I went to an art festival and it was just too hot to sit outside when I got home. My deck is on the south side of house and gets the full sun and all the blazing heat.

I don’t think it would matter wwhat key a song is in versus what key my vocals are, because I can’t hear to match the pitch one way or the other. I can typically raise or lower my vocals to what I think sounds like the right key, but I have no clue what key I’m playing or singing in. It’s all one big crap shoot.

Thanks @KevinZ – I doubt I’d be accused of having a party if I played and sang outside. I’m meek as a mouse and play softly and whisper/sing. I don’t have enough confidence to play any other way. I tend to speak softly to, or so I’m told, so my singing is just extension of my normal way of talking. I don’t like the feeling of yelling when I raise my voice.

Yeah, I’m outside Philly, so I completely understand about the rarity of a nice breeze, especially with the type of Summer we’ve been having (very hot, humid, and no rainfall). Get out when you can and have fun!

I’m not sure what area of the world you are ChuckS, but we also had a nice breeze late morning/early afternoon, but it became very hot very quickly in the afternoon. I’ll have to shoot more for the a.m. period next year. Sounds like you felt a freedom in playing without worrying about what others thought, and I think that’s a large part of the movement. Freedom and enjoyment of music outdoors. Nothing beats it.

@Cadgirl I’m all for the Zoom meeting. I’ve done them with a few others and always enjoyed the interaction and getting to know people better. It feels safer on Zoom, rather than in person and making me get out of my comfort zone known as my hermit hut

@Cadgirl & @N-lightMike that makes 3 of us with hearing aids, but I go days without wearing them, because it’s just me and the dog typically. But, I don’t play or sing loudly usually, but I’ve heard many with hearing difficulties do that. That might be part of my problem hearing pitch. Mike, what are you referring to when you say you use the guitar as a tuning fork?

Yeah, but the app doesn’t open up. I just get a banner and nothing more.

Well, I downloaded to iPad, but it isn’t showing screen correctly. This is what I get.

Yes, sounded is a word. 🙂

That’s awesome @Cadgirl . You did this by ear? Very impressive.

Yup, got my shades, umbrella and drink all ready.😎

Very good point @MikeGaurnier ! Sing from the diaphragm. Breathing in general is so underrated.
