You Can Close Your Eyes - me and emily

Hey guys, I've been around here for a while but don't post a lot, but I felt compelled to post this because I am so dang proud. I apologize for my crappy singing, but Em is astounding...

(if anyone can fix this link, please feel free)

you both sound great ...your daughter has a very nice voice...keep her going and growing musically she could be special...

Very nice !!! I see you're also from Minnesota -- where are you ? I'm in Grand Rapids.

Very good! She is talented, and you have a right to be proud.

Wow ! You are right to be that proud , You both sound amazing.

I have 2 daughters who love singing and dancing and playing the drums , but so far I've yet to spot any tallent even with my paternal pride rose coloured specs on .

Made my day. She's amazing. Way to go dad ... you should be very proud.

Great job, Emily sounds amazing !

Very nice indeed...:grin:

Emily sings like an angel. I hope she embraces her talent and continues to sing. Your not too bad yourself dad!

Very nice !!! I see you're also from Minnesota -- where are you ? I'm in Grand Rapids.

I'm here in Farmington. Lovely weather today-- Twins vs. Royals postponed.

Well done mate, thats awesome, althou I'm from Australia and it came thru upside down and back to front and reversed haha. Good job, you've done James Taylor proud.

I put up a new one, with a different link (could not edit my first post for some reason)

Nice job dad and Em!
Good intonation, flowed through the dynamics of the song cleanly in unison, seem to have your breathing in the right places as well.
The emotion felt very nice with the harmony and dynamics as well.
One thing I try to work on with anyone is vibrato.
Your vibrato seemed gentle enough...
Now, try hitting it at the end of your phrase.
Rather than at the head of the last sustain, let it gently float out of you after the sustain has begun.
There will begin a journey where you come to use your vibrato like a caress at the end of your notes.
From what I hear though, you have the gift Em and you can take it as far as you want it.
Luckily, you also have the love and support of a musical family!
*applause*

orangedrop, thanks so much for your words. I consider myself a pretty mediocre singer, but I'm always looking for good advise on maximizing whatever is there. My natural range is very low, so I struggle going higher. Although Junior Brown has given me confidence to just take it low and let it flow!

hey... where'd it go?

That ws astounding in it's beauty. purity and the way your voices blend.
Your Daughter is very talented and has a beautiful voice and style.
It would be a waste to this world if she doesn't keep forever singing.

This is one of my top ten Twanger Central pieces of all time, so you're in rare company.
Thanks for making my Morning, I wish I was a talent scout or and Aand R guy, I'd have you signed tomorrow. I'f write songs for you guys if you had no original material because it would be easy to write around your voice blend.
