You blew me away, Kim. What an amazing voice you have... And despite any nervousness, your presentation was smoking. What's next, American Idol? BTW, I had an old civic that fit this description perfectly - and I cried when I had to sell her. Wow! You blew me away, Kim.

It wasn't until I started listening to country that I found female artists I could sing along with. It still took years to get the confidence to sing in front of people I knew. Add a little social anxiety in the mix and sing in front of people I don't know -- no way! Scary. This is still a little removed though because I can't see the faces people are making when they hear me flub a note or a lyric. One down, two more to go. The next one is proving to be more challenging that I had expected, but it's fun, too.
