I CANNOT carry a tune for singing........I would actually CLEAR the dang room should I decide to sing. I can play the piano though....go figure.

Well you crack me the F up........

Does that apply to being tone deaf for our country and yet making rules for other countries where we think we are the instrument of change?

I can't sing either but that doesn't stop me.

I am curious...tone deafness. Is that something that can be cured? Is it soemthing we're born without or is it something we have to learn to be able to do??

Sorry, it wasn't intended to be a political comment. I thought Hillary's attempt at singing was funny. It wasn't a partisan thing. Everybody was laughing.

When I sing so do the neighborhood dogs.

Tone deaf means you would like to "hear" the notes as they are played on any in-tune instrument. Your voice is an in-tune instrument..........can you hear your voice? DO YOU KNOW THE NOTES you play or sing? I cannot carry a tune - EVER---I can play the piano but only by playing notes from music. I have NO way of playing my piano by ear.

As far as learning to overcome tone deafness.............I did chorus..very badly.....I usually played the piano for the chorus. I wanted so badly to have music in my life and at 51 years old I KNOW my best asset to music is to listen to it and enjoy it
