Just wanted to share something about singing that might help motivate you to song..
Currently, I'm playing with three levels of groups... In the advanced group, I sort of lay back and don't really put myself out there to the fullest extent of my abilities. With the mid-level guys, I'm sometimes stretching it, but also a bit careful. But, the beginner group, being a place where the drum parts are mostly easy for me, I've started standing back from the drums and playing bell or shaker and really digging into the soul with singing.. There's a space that I'm reaching with some of the songs that is more fulfilling than any music I've ever played :laugh:
Some of the Ogun, and Ochun songs feel like the universe is getting shaken up!
It sure is fun belting it out with abandon!
OK,, carry on!
