Asked by Steve_A (5130points) December 27th, 2009

Well I am hoping with the help of a fellow Flutherier….? lol is that a word? to be singing :O closes own ears

I will give you a hint she is an opera singer!

I want to do some open mic stuff go sing a song or 2 for fun, can be electric guitar or acoustic (acoustic probably easier)

How hard is it to do/find? and what songs would you suggest I figured something middle road…..

Thanks as always!

Wait a second… open mic with you on electric guitar (always easier to please a crowd with) and an opera singer!? Sounds fantastic! You got me already. I’m not sure about this ‘middle of the road’ stuff… but that’s me. Try giving an operatic interpretation to ‘anthem’ rock n roll covers. Treat your art with a deserved seriousness. How about an old dylan hit ‘forever young’? The high you get when an appreciative audience shows love is very addictive! Please post on you tube, so we flutherers get a chance to see.

Haha, sorry I mis-stated my question she is an opera singer but is going to help me with MY singing, I was planning on sining/playing.

Apologize for the mix up heh :)

I wanted to do America-Horse with no name, I am new to this stuff, ( only 19) and was looking for help.

If it happens I will try to get it uploaded or something….lol or maybe I wont :D

Hi Steve…just thought I’d let you know that I’m a little tangled up today with building marble race runners for my boy…amongst other things…but I will get back to you later today…

@Tomfafa I did actually do an operatic sample on a techno dance track years ago which sounded pretty good… opera mixes quite well will some genres and I do think it would work with some of Steve’s music… it’s pretty cool!

@Steve_A When you say open mic show…what do you mean exactly… you want to go to one…or set one up..?

Open mic nights are generally very laid back and easy to do. Usually you just bring your guitar. Find a place online and call them up to see what you need, just get started now! It is a great experience to try out:)
