When I was about twenty-five years of age, Professor Sims informed me that I could sing, but added, 'I would like to be at least forty miles away while you are doing it.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There was a time, actually, when I hadn't been singing, and I'd lost a lot of my ability. My range had shrunk.
I want to try to prove that at 100, I could sing as well as I was singing when I was 45 or 43.
Everyone told me I could sing from about the age of ten. My mum was always telling me. But I was so shy, I didn't believe them. And the more that people told me, the more I went into the background and the less likely I was to sing.
When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.
I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.
Singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.
As long as I can sing and hit the notes, I want to do that.
If I cannot sing, I have the impression that I no longer exist. I mean it. I mean that I am not physically there.
I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar - hide in the back and just play.
My dad says I could sing before I could talk, if that's possible. I was always humming and things like that.
