I know every other entry I post here whines about not being able to sing. It's true, I'm not singing in a group unless you count our regular family renditions of "The Wheels on the Bus." But Ellen and I do a duet every night.

It started with Ellen refusing to have her teeth brushed. She'd clamp down on the toothbrush, suck out the toothpaste and declare: "All done!" So I started opening my mouth and going "Aaah" to try to get her to do the same while I was brushing her teeth. At some point I started singing it, kind of like in Disney's Cinderella, instead of just saying it. She thought it was funny, and then she joined me. Now we're both "Aaah"ing random melodies the whole time I'm brushing. My range is coming back, and let me tell you, that girl's teeth are clean.

How long before I can teach her the second part to The Flower Duet from Lakme? and if not her yet, wanna try it, ewigweibliche? I performed it with solcita a thousand 7 years ago, but my skillz have definitely gone downhill since then.

I do not know piece. I'd love to try it. I need to get a keyboard of some kind so I can learn parts.

And you were *awesome* then. I still remember being amazed when I heard you solo.
