It's like everything I wanted to do I had to love it first. When I play my "Brother Jake one man band " at my farmers' market gigs I am frequently asked how I can sing,play guitar, drum, cymbals and harmonica simutaneously.My response is..."If I think about it I can't do it."People tell me they've tried to learn harmonica but couldn't get it and ask me how I learned? I answer by asking "Where's your harp?" " Oh, it's at home", is the reply . That's your problem..." Don't leave home without it" After all they don't call it a "pocket pal" for nothing. A person might say about himself " I can't sing worth a hill of beans" I say...who told you that? Who robbed you of the joy of singing? Don't ever tell anyone they can't sing especially yourself ! It's criminal the discouragement that is brought on us. As a result children stop drawing pictures, stop singing and creativity is stifled all because of undue criticism. How wonderfully unpretentious is children's art. And for me it's not how you sing it's how you don't sing that makes a good singer.
