Hi @parus -- thank you for starting this discussion! While I have zero musical talent, I love to listen to most all kinds of music. Since I'm such a computer nerd, a lot of times when I'm working at the computer and feel the need to be inspired for any reason. A song from my past usually pops into my head and I like to hear the original artist sing it. Through the wonders of Google search I've learned to search with the title of the song and youtube which brings me up a list of choices and sometimes it makes me hop with joy. For example, a few days ago a title popped into my head "Good Golly Miss Molly" and I did my search and came up with a 2 minute version by the artist - Little Richard doing the song in a skit with John Goodman from a movie he had starred in about being a king. Here's what I came up with that made me get out of my chair and since no one could see me - sing along and dance.

@johnbishop Remember the movie. Thanks for the share. I so enjoy singing as well as shaking and grooving-never dance in front of anyone. I am a walking encyclopedia of 70's music/lyrics and have a lot of fun with impromptu by singing answers to comments...Still have not been banned from any stores and let my voice out all the way in the parking lot. I am old enough now I can behave this way and don't care if folks think I am crazy. There have been times I have had others join me and we have a great time. Complete strangers joining together in a little happy craziness.
I am amazed at the number of people that can sing. So thanks John as I came home beat to the socks and this gave me a boost!!! I go the music in me!!!

@johnbishop and @parus

I don't remember seeing the movie, King Ralph, so I'll have to try and rent a DVD.

Teresa you will like the movie, lots of old fashioned humor and slapstick type comedy.

EVERYONE has musical talent! Your heart beats a steady rhythm. If you can tell who's calling one the phone by the sound of their voice you have tonal memory. Same when you recognize a song after hearing only the first few notes.
