But, yeah, it sucked.<br /><br />FAE ~ There are all manner of things that scare me. By and large, singing in public is not one of them.... <br /><br />Birgit ~ And that is the thing... we DIDN'T go to Disney. I can't imagine the migraine pain if Disney had been involved....<br /><br />Elsie ~ I KNOW you understand, fellow migraine sufferer.... <br /><br />Liza ~ Honestly, I'm still struggling. There is just a lot of stress right now and my migraines feed on it.<br /><br />Chris ~ Your comment about my legs made me laugh. I remember you said some funny things last time (even if I didn't comment on it!). I wonder if I'm infringing on copyright with my YouTube postings. Huh. Never even thought about it until now.... I can't imagine that it will get enough hits that anyone would even care.... But, yes, I'd love to hear your stuff. I shall look for your email address!!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-18161321065985106232014-12-09T10:21:28.146-05:002014-12-09T10:21:28.146-05:00Enjoyed the video, Robin!

I missed seeing your legs. :)<br /><br />I hope and pray your migraines are doing better! I'm so sorry they interfered with the fun of a vacation.<br /><br />I do like Civil Wars (even featured them doing "Billy Jean" on an earlier BOTB), and generally give Enya a "meh..." and a shrug, but I liked her version better in your BOTB. I like it when a BOTB shakes up my expectations. :)<br /><br /><br />And BTW -- I could point you to some 'unofficial' videos of me playing with our worship team in church, but they're not for general consumption (copyright issues and stuff).

Usually Richard was just doing background harmonizing but there are also a few songs where they performed dual or co-lead vocals, however, Karen pretty much always took the most verses, as it should have been. (I'm still in love with Karen's unique voice, and I admitted to loving The Carpenters when being a Carpenters fan was about the height of uncoolness. Come to think of it, that might still be the case according to some folks.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

I don't want to waste a minute, either.... ::sigh::<br /><br />Susan ~ It was a bit of a rocky start. Our soprano was really challenged with this song because she was singing against me (second soprano) and the alto parts. She, and she alone, carried the melody line (and words) while we were mostly singing "tiny king" over and over. Once she got through that first phrase or two it all got better:)<br /><br />ABFTS ~ Funny thing... even as I cringed, I thought, "Oh crap. This is being taped. That's going to look awful." And it was. And it did.<br /><br />Elizabeth ~ I appreciate you voting for our version of Tiny King, but it wasn't part of the battle. hahahahaha. That was just me sharing my Sunday morning with ya'll.<br /><br />Diane ~ You got that right!<br /><br />Dianne ~ Don't NOT vote because your band didn't win. In my own battles, I usually vote for the loser. hahahaha.

They range from mild to completely debilitating. I think the hardest thing for me in this last month has been the increase in severity (which is riding in tandem to my increased stress). It has made me fall back on pain meds, which I got off of back in early 2013, just to push through it. The better I get, the more I incorporate into my life... and the more I cannot function at all when migraines come along, requiring that I take pain medication to get by. I vividly remember when pain medication became my way of powering through until I hit the wall and it didn't help any longer. Of course, going off wasn't an option, either. I really don't want to end up back there again.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-46108129433836627222014-12-08T16:13:50.506-05:002014-12-08T16:13:50.506-05:00Ah, well, the first time I ever voted in BoB and I...Ah, well, the first time I ever voted in BoB and I picked the one that lost miserably.

I actually wasn't sure a lot of people would vote for her. It seems people either love her music or hate it.
