Ryan Wright singing Summer Wind, written by Heinz Meier

Now this is great. The DJ hands me the recordings, and I'm like "Oh ok, awesome. My two songs are on here." I get home, and there is this third one, this one performance of the 1965 classic made famous by the '66 rendition by Frank Sinatra. This was only the third time I had ever tried this song, and I think I did pretty good even by modern standards. A lady that was there, who had heard me sing many other songs before, said that I sounded the most relaxed and the most 'into my voice' when I sing songs like this. Perhaps I should do more. However, I need to get rid of the forced vibrato. I have no idea why in the world I do that. I suppose because I'm deathly afraid of purely straightone in music like this. Anyways, as for Frank's music, and the Rat Pack era, I generally love the music, but it's not technically all that challenging. You really do have to loosen up quite a bit to do this music right, and unfortunately a few drinks is all it takes for me. :) I'll try this one again.
