I played the violin in elementary school but those days are long gone.
My husband is the talent...he can sing to rival anyone on American Idol. Growing up, he would lock himself in his room and practice singing to bands like Journey, Styx, Boston with his cheap mic and amp. He went on to become a lead singer in a local band for the past 15 years...that's how I met him
At one point even Alan Parson was interested but Harry wouldn't leave his band (his brother is bass player). He is still considered one of the best in our area.
