However Art showed me his old school report card when we were on the Big Island. I think it was his first grade report card written when teachers didn't have to be careful about what they wrote (or something). It said something like... "Art is unable to carry a tune and is tone deaf." I was really surprised because it affected him. He would never sing in front of me and doesn't really like to listen to music. I've pushed him into singing throughout our years together and had music around me. To be honest, his singing isn't great. But he's not toned deaf and he can carry a tune... sort of.<br />Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-33241099739093327172016-05-09T07:00:41.338-05:002016-05-09T07:00:41.338-05:00Gosh, your new hubbie could have been a bit more t...Gosh, your new hubbie could have been a bit more tactfut but I guess he made his point.

I just attempted a hum and was really disappointed.Sigh.<br />I had to sing a Happy Birthday today so I tried your trick of singing really low and it kind of worked.

You...Sweet Patti, this post made me laugh out loud. Your posts are just the best and your humor is amazing. I have never heard "Purple Rain" I guess I should find it, learn it, sing it and see what Pooh does. lol I love music and love to sing. Years ago I sung solos, in duets, trios and choirs. My voice breaks up now and it has lowered to where I have a very hard time finding a key to sing in. No one hears me sing now but myself, Pooh and Chancy and it will stay that way.

I can't carry a tune... so have lip synced my whole life, but would have loved to have joined in. My experience with my cats is that when I have tried to sing to them, they put their paws over my mouth. I get the message.

Nigella Stopit (the cat!). My musical "skills" have usually occasioned cats to menace and intimidate me. One cat would circle me like a blood crazed shark when I tried to play the cello... My music has never aroused a cat as far as I can tell, but... my cast off shirts were greatly enjoyed by a cat that lived with us a few years ago. She would attend the bed chamber every night to be there so that she could roll in my freshly removed shirt!!
