Sorry it’s so late but Happy Belated birthday! Hey it’s like you can celebrate all over again now!! Also, what was your music degree? We’re you a performance major?

@trebor I sang mostly rock songs. I love female fronted metal bands so I was singing a lot of Lacuna Coil. Some obscure bands like Rasputina, especially their covers. I honestly must say I don’t miss singing in front of classes where you feel everyone is better than you and you are terrified to make mistake.

That's great, it must have been a rush to sing with a band going full tilt behind you. It's funny I actually am not familiar with Lacuna Coil but I do remember Rasputina. Did you listen to Pretty Girls Make Graves? Andrea was a powerful singer. I can sympathize with what you said about singing in front of classes (I studied classical music). Those situations always felt a little unnatural with the potential for a judgemental atmosphere. I've always felt performances should be about joy and sharing emotions with your audience. I think everyone feels a little self conscious about their own performances, I always try to encourage people to remember they sound better than they think they do. It takes a lot of courage to get up on a stage sometimes, it's great that you did that.
