Since I've been sick, and I've got a gig coming up this Saturday, I've been trying to sing in the car a lot to get my voice back into shape -- or at least to see if I'm gonna be *able* to sing on Saturday.
I was singing along to the "Waltzing with Bears" CD, and then I got out the regular "Keith & Warren" CD, since those are, obviously, songs that I need to do, and that are in the right range for me. I sang with that one for a day, but "that guy on the CD" is too loud, and I can't really hear if I'm singing OK or not.
Then it occurred to me that I have the original, separate tracks that make up those songs: my voice, my guitar, and Warren's guitar, all in separate files. So I burned a CD last night of just the "my guitar" tracks, and now I have "K&W Karaoke!" in the car. (I could have (should have) included Warren's guitar, especially for the solo verses, but that would have involved doing a mix-down, and I just didn't have time.)
Anyway, I thought it was clever, and it's definitely fun!
