Wishful Wednesday: Rockstar

Many people may not realize this, but I started performing when I was in kindergarten. Just little skits at first, but when I was 7 I had my first "starring" role in which I also sang. That led to a life of choirs, solos and musical theater.

A friend once told me I had a good voice, but not one that you'd hear on the radio. Always one to step up to a challenge, I decided I wanted to form a band. That dream was short lived, however, when I realized I was a terrible songwriter. But my brief foray into rock stardom (plus my realization of my love of karaoke) made me discover another dream: to be a featured vocalist.

You've been to the concerts where someone from the supporting act comes out. Or, even better, a visiting celebrity guest. That's who I want to be. A surprise duet at a concert, or on an album. I've long said my creative skills are more in enhancing the skills of others, and this is absolutely true when it comes to singing. My blending skills are on point! 

So that's my wish. For people to want to sing with me. I already have a not too short list of people to fulfill this dream with. For some it could be as simple as well documented karaoke, but for others, I have big plans. Fun plans!
