My Hobo-hemia is the place to be

November 28th, 2009

I like to sing. I’m told I have a decent voice, but I’ve never had any vocal training, so while I can easily be persuaded to belt one out when I’ve been drinking, I’m still self-conscious about it. So it was a very big deal to me indeed on Thanksgiving when, surrounded by a group of people who are almost all either choir members or professional musicians (or both), I stood next to a piano and sang “The Lady is a Tramp.”

I like the green grass under my shoes
What can I lose?
I’m flat, that’s that
I’m all alone when I lower my lamp
That’s why the lady is a tramp

I’m no Ella, that’s for damn sure, and I squeaked a little because I was a little out of my register, but… I did it!
