    G'day, dingo!

    Glad to make your acquaintance after all this time.  Good to have you back in the fray after laying low for a while!  I listened to your older demo you recently reposted.  You have a very nice voice. 

    I've been singing quite a while, but started KTVA at about the same time it looks like maybe you did, February 2011. 

    Please keep chiming in with your comments. You are a welcome part of this community, and it's good to hear from you.

    That all sounds great! but why wait until you retire to start busking? Get your keyboard mended and get out there!!

    Gary,

    Spoken like a professional busker!  Actually, the busking could finance the keyboard repair, as you suggest...

    Wow, Dingo! You have great range. Would you mind recording an Adelle song? I really love Adelle.

    Your voice kinda of remind me of Karen Carpenter and Sheena Easton. It's very soothing. Maybe you could do "Almost over you"?

    @wv, what a nice compliment. When i get my microphone over here, I will have to try some Sheena Easton and Karen Carpenter songs.

    Yes, Karen Carpenter had one of the most appealing voices ever recorded.  What a nice compliment, indeed!
