Justin came from school the other day and spent a good 2 hours telling me about his day. When he finally took a breathe and let me ask him something, he looked at me weird.
I asked him what was wrong and he said, “I sounded hoarse and a little raspy.” I looked at him with a puzzled look and kept on talking. He again mentioned my voice and I told him it has to be nothing.
But, it wasn’t nothing…
Well Justin was in school, I was living my Broadway Dream. Yes I was starring in my own Broadway show and I had my own singing number to Roxette’s Fading like a Flower.
I had been singing it at least 20 to 30 times that night. I was singing all the way to back row and was giving them my all. I am sure my neighbors were not happy but I was having fun.I was living a dream.
Could I really be on Broadway, maybe but not for singing. Trust me!
This was my way of being silly and letting go of stress. Just having fun and enjoying some time at home. When I was a kid, I had a vivid imagination and played many games like this.
As I got older, I played less and less and worked more and more. I learned that my imagination really helps me in a lot of what I do. Those games were great escapes for me so I could have some time for me, enjoy myself and just let go!

Now Appearing in a Richardson shower near you…
My greatest performances have been in the shower. I love to perform for real at the local theatre, but I have almost as much fun in my very own shower with those great acoustics.
Im with you Michael. Thanks for sharing.
