Summertime Blues

Back to blogging, after a long-dry spell.  Everyone here in Seattle is waiting for summer, which has apparently arrived (and then some) in the rest of the country.  SO... no better way to spend time indoors than by singing some blues.  Start with songs like St. James Infirmary or even summertime (how appropriate).  Try singing these melodies with vowel combinations like  "Whoa" (Oh and Oo, with Oh being given more time than Oo)  AND  "Yea"  (Ay and Ee vowels, with Ay getting more time than Ee"    Ex.  Yay----------ee   Yay--------ee,  or Woh--------------oo   Woh---------oo.  Work in the middle of your range at first and don:t push it too high.
