“All I Needed Was A Microphone (or two) And A PA System”

And just like that the Holiday Season of 2023 is over. Thanksgiving? Gone. Christmas? Gone. New Year’s Day 2024? Gone.

2023 was a good year. Family is good. I’m good. My health is good. Doctor’s visits good for the most part. See, I’m at the age where going to the doctor is like taking your body on a blind date: you never know what you’re gonna get…….

Speaking of age I celebrated another birthday recently. For weeks leading up to it my family asked what I wanted for gifts. I had no idea. As the day approached I recalled a few times when I experienced some anxiety and sleeplessness. A headache or two as well. Guess what the doctor ordered? Music, what else?

I don’t do enough singing in my life. A few years back I promised myself that I would take on the challenge of singing in public. Little did I know my sons would beat me to it. Both of them released somgs and/or videos recently. I’m falling behind. So for my birthday I got an SM58 microphone and a small portable PA system.

Singing. Learning songs. Playing guitar. No more headaches, sleeplessness or anxiety.

And all I needed was a microphone.
