Well, why do you sing?
Because you’re happy? In case auld acquaintance should be forgot? Because you
have a tune stuck in your head? Because you want to be famous? Because it
annoys your brother so much?
Do you ever find yourself singing the song of a robin? Or
barking like a dog?
No?
Well, that’s a relief.
So, why not?
Why do you sing?
I sing ALL THE TIME! I am quite an embarrassment and my kids had a terrible time with me when they were younger. I sing sotto voce round the supermarket, a bit louder at home and when I'm in the bath, or on my own anywhere, then I am at full throttle. I sing because I love the sound it makes and how it makes me feel. Yehudi Menuhim said that singing every day was essential for happiness. Also I have a good voice I think and like to fantasise that I'm Barbra Streisand, or some such.
