I will have reached the ripe old age of 30. Now im not saying that as a hint that its my birthday next month. Every so often in magazines you get the articles, 'Things you should have done by the time your 30'. It got me thinking about things that i wanted to have done by the time i reach the big 30.

One of the main things i wanted and still want to do is record my own album. Ive song a solo on a CD, but the thought of having one that is just mine, would be fantastic. I wouldnt even care if it never sold a copy, but just the opportunity to put on one cd, all the songs that i love to sing would be absolutely amazing. At some point i would love to do one of just christian songs, but i havnt thought of enough songs that id like to put on that one yet. It of course would include one of my all time faves " I will offer up my life ".

My main influence in my singing has got to come from Carly Simon. She is fantastic and if i was told i could only listen to one singer again, it would most definatly be Carly Simon. So saying that, it comes as know suprise that out of the 12 songs ive picked that i would put on a CD, Carly Simon is featured 4 times :-)

Anyway for my own amusement if nothing else, here is my list of 12 songs. In no particular order.....

1) Carly Simon - My romance

2) Carly Simon - Time after time ( not the Cindy Lauper one )

3) Carly Simon - Words of love ( not the Mammas and papas one )

4) Carly Simon - Man on my mind

5) All about eve - Martha's harbor

6) Fisher - I will love you

7) Everything but the girl - I dont want to talk about it

8) Nat King Cole - Unforgettable

9) Beatles - Here, there and everywhere

10) Beatles - Something

11) Alison Krauss - I will ( also done by the Beatles )

12) Jewel - Morning song

Looking over the list, they all look a bit depressing. It is not intentional, but in general i prefer slower songs as you can put a bit more passion into them and besides i cant sing fast songs very well. :-)

ps got another magazine today, its another house one, free gift is a christmas garland. There was a choice between gold or red. Im pleased to say i didnt buy two copies of the magazine, just so i could get both colours. I know im sad, but i havnt reached that level yet. If i had, then when i got the free wooden spoons a couple of months back, i would have brought another copy just so i also got some free spatulas hee hee.
