Does any one listen to Frank Sinatra or like his music?
The reason I ask is kind of personal. Over the last week I've had a revelation. I've been involved in music for 30 years (guitar) but never really pursued it. I've always thought if I were to create a CD it would be metal or rock. Instrumentally, my range is metal, rock, country, jazz. Fairly broad. Vocally, my range is much narrower. It is similar to Frank Sinatra type jazz. I can put on some jazz music and start singing in key and making up the words as I go.
When I first moved to Montreal, a female friend invited me over to her boyfriends place. He showed my some finger excerises. I asked if I could try and he said yes. I sat down and pounded out a melody. And this is before I bought a keyboard but wasn't the first I played one. The boyfriend seemed kind of jealous. His girlfriend said it was beautiful and that the piano is my instrument. I don't have long piano fingers though.
Anyway, if I ever make a CD (and I probably will), the singing style will be like Frank Sinatra but with less of the "big band" sound. Probably more piano and stand-up bass.
