November 2012 - SOTW Update

Another good month.  These songs all required learning new techniques, and where quite time-consuming work-ups.  They were alot of fun to do, though, and I got alot of joy out of sharing them.  Among the feed-back received was that there was good emotion in these songs.  Finally.  I'm not so sure why, but it might be in part because I was more comfortable and really enjoying myself.  Some other suggestions were to not be afraid to belt out the voice, and to try singing a little bit higher in key, because my voice sounds better in the higher register.

Here are November's songs: 

Week 44: Stand By Me, Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, 1961

Crazy.  Now this song-of-the-week challenge only has three Christmas carols and a New Year's eve song left to complete.  Wow!  What'll I do next?
