I've been singing a lot of songs a cappella, because I'm not very good on piano. It takes a lot of practice for me to get to the point where I can accompany myself on a song. Also, my laptop, which I can carry to where the piano is, is horribly slow -- and the good mic is connected to the desktop, so it's inconvenient to move it down.
I would really love to find some instrumentalists who like hymns, folk, show tune, adult contemporary, and ballad music who might be willing to cooperate with me. Maybe you could send me an instrumental track & I could add some vocal?
