Random, stupid things on your mind

I want to take voice lessons.

Just put on an ugly shirt and let 'er rip baby.

Maybe Mike the millennial could put in a good word for you, Shay.  I’ll bet you can find him on Paranormaldate.com but don’t give him the wrong idea.  Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

You're killing me.    After Noory takes my call here is how it would go when MTM follows.

MTM ~ "George, first off thank you for taking my call and I appreciate all you do.  As a younger person I'd like to tell ShayP that he should follow his dream as a singer even though he's an older person.  George, maybe you could help him since your voice is amazing and you have such a presence on stage.  My Mom really loves you.  But first, I'd like to make a point then ask a question..."

Noory ~ "Interesting take."

But I don't play the accordion.

Thanks for this.  I had forgotten June is Accordian Appreciation Month.

Thank you for the reminder.  Myron Floren and all the Lawrence Welk musical family will be watched tonight.

I’m more a Buckwheat Zydeco man.

I dig him too.  No doubt.  It's just that my first "fix" with the accordion was on the Welk Show.  Also, being from Pittsburgh you grew up hearing the Beer Barrel Polka a lot.

Ha!

Noory ~  “Shay, you can learn a lot from Mikey!”

It sounds like you need the man who taught Barry White everything he knows... knew?
That's right, Jim Gillette.

Ok screw that then. Guess you will need some coaching. This dude might still be alive @ShayP

@Bart Ell   I have those tapes. As funny as it all is, they really work.  I still use a few of my favorites as my general vocal workout to keep things nicely oiled.

"Now let's do the, Ee Ee Ee's going up!"
"ZEE A O I A AH LAY MINE" repeat by half steps up and down.
"YAa AHH" from octave to octave and so on repeating up and down.

..and many many more

Hmmm. Appears quite talented. Interesting methodology. I may have to inspect his style further

Not true. Unless you were a regular reader of Hit Parader and Circus you wouldn't know about it ever existed. But I am in my 40's.
