NVG, I love it when a woman sings to me! Being a Drama geek, it happened a lot, but the best times were when it was just two of us. I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket even if I had the Verizon support network backing me up...but I love listening! And yes, at night, snuggled up, right before sleep...
In general, I love the female singing voice. I am attracted to what my wife calls "Warbling females" (Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Evanescence, T.A.T.U., Bjork, etc)...it's ok, though. I give her a hard time about listening to her "whiny men" CD's all the time.

SimonWho, I may be lucky in that most of my former SO's that I still see are friends of mine...there are the exceptions ( French ex-wife), but even if the relationship ended badly, friendship eventually grew again.

Ok Tristan your couldn't carry a tune in a bucket thing totally makes me think of my mom. She has a dreadful singing voice and she used to punish us for minor manners infractions by singing. Still makes me smile.

That would be what I meant...and I made the mistake because someone burnt the CD for me (shame on them...and me for accepting it, but one of these days I will buy it. ) and wrote Pressure Theives on it. So now I always think of the title that way. ;)

Tristan: I don't make the married guys off limits. They, or their wives, do. I've been relegated to being the wife's friend when I never really knew her before and/or all time is spent with them as a couple.

Edited to say that I love to sing, but am not much of a singer. I can carry a tune if someone next to me can. Basically, I can mimic okay. but I have a dreadfully small range (alto and some tenor...I've got a low voice) and finding my key is difficult. When I play guitar, it's always a guess as to which key I will be able to sing in that day. Sometimes E or D is good, sometimes not so much.

I don't sing to people usually. If you catch me singing in the showe or car, good on ya, but I am too self-conscious about my voice to just sing. I trace that back to being 12 years old, at camp, singing away on a hike and a counsellor saying these exact words (well, she used my real name): "Rugbug,you love to sing, don't you?" pause for my affirmative reply. "Please don't." Ah, the rockstar aspirations of youth crumbled in one shining moment.

Oh, you could use me for a torture device. One minute into my rendition of...well, anything...and they will be spilling their guts just to get me to shutup. I pride myself on that.

Ok, out soon for the weekend. Y'all have a good one!

On Singing:
I sing rather a lot. It amuses me to no end. While I do have a decent enough voice, I have a fairly limited range (can't hit the high notes worth a good gorram), which probably kept me away from Canadian Idol. That, and the fact that I have social anxieties. Hell, I sing at work whilst closing up, not just humming, I mean words coming out and echoing through the building singing.
Nobody's told me to shut up yet, so I guess I ain't that bad, dohn ma?

--------------
I ain't lookin' for help from on high. That's a damn long wait for a train don't come.
