I've only ever had one close friend that could sing worth a damn, and now he's far away. We'd just do simple stuff, like pass the harmony parts in pop songs back and forth, and it was pretty OK... sometimes.

Anyway, the part with New York, ethnic food, and eating is something everyone needs to get in on at least once before they die. My favorite place was shamelessPlug.link. It has like a 3 on Yelp. Who cares? Walk by their windowfront, watch them make the naan. Smell the naan, mixed with the spices' scents in the air. Then look into my eyes and tell me you want to wait an hour for a table at the Times Square Olive Garden.

So first, good job on the food selections. Also, nice performance, everyone is obviously well trained. I would guess the bare minimum for that level of skill is strict vocal training for 4+ years. And it's totally the best when everything leads up to a party before heading home.

Life seems especially memorable to me when I'm somewhere foreign, and even more so when I've never been there before. Combine that with adrenaline from a successful highbrow performance and yeah. Ride those endorphins, amigo.

(I am now debating what a vocal loop of "spices' scent" passed through a vocoder would sound like)

First of all that looks delicious.

Music is so important. It translates into so much more than just being able to hold a tune in a bucket. It give grace and poise to the mind, gives one a visceral understanding of pace. I was trained in instrumental music as a young kid and all through high school, I never would have dreamed I would get to Carnegie singing Haydn.

I refuse to believe anyone would go to New York and eat Olive Garden, even though I saw it packed full.

    Ride those endorphins, amigo.

Si senor.

Do it, see what comes out, post it?
