So it appears that I still haven't adjusted to my jet lag. I fell asleep at 1:00 today and didn't wake up until 4:00, after which I started applying for jobs, or attempting to, some of those application websites are confusing. So suffice to say I didn't get any practice in today and neither did I get to work out.
Ah well, so I'm sitting here with my guitar which I have not played in a surprisingly long time, decided to pick it up after listening to a couple of tracks from the New Van Halen album which is actually pretty damn good. I think Eddie's guitar always speaks for itself but listening to David Lee Roth's voice in particular is a good reminder that sometimes you don't need to have the prettiest voice to create a pretty cool piece of music especially when it comes to Rock and Roll. A baritone in training can only listen to so much Rhydian before he feels a little insecure.
That being said, I notice that there aren't many baritones in pop music, or in popular classical music for that matter. I can only think of two from the top of my head. That's Josh Groban and Rhydian. Rhydian isn't well known in America and Josh Groban's range is apparently up for debate, oh well, I classify him as a baritone mostly because one: I need to feel like I can compare my voice to at least one really awesome singer, and two: he clearly has a falsetto that's set where the baritone falsetto usually is. Ah well, what do I know? His voice is awesome and I wish mine sounded like that.
Alright, that's it for now. I think I'll do some lip trills before I go to bed.
