There, I’ve said it.
Now that doesn’t mean I can’t carry a tune. Usually, I can sort of keep on key (with usually and sort of being the operative words). And I’m not tone deaf, because I not only can tell when I go off key, I also can tell when people with supposedly good voices do the same. (I’d say “you know who you are,” but sadly you seem not to.) What I do mean is that when I sing, I know enough to follow my wife Sharon’s wise advice (or was it Teddy Roosevelt’s?), and sing softly and try to carry a tune.
