Trying not to get too excited

I have been trying to find a band that needed a singer for awhile now. But I live in the boonies and it is hard to find motivated musicians.
I went to a New Year's Eve party and there was a band. A good band! A few people asked me to sing so I did. (Me and Bobby McGee, I know, kind of cliche' but that's what they wanted) Now the band wants me to come hang out during practices and bring my list of what I do.
It's a start! They aren't talking about me doing all their songs but a few during their set. Just wait until they have heard me do "White Rabbit"!
Wish me luck!

That's awesome! I've recently lost my shyness to sing around people. I've been told I'm quite good; currently honing my skills in Rock Band. There's nothing like singing to people backing you up with music.

I used to be shy too. People would ask me to sing and I'd say no. Positive feedback really does help.
I have had a couple of pros tell me that I should pick up a guitar to better hone my music skills. (reading music and such) Unfortunately I have problems with Carpo tunnel and can't.
Happy Birthday NewbieShroomie! (don't think you are so new anymore tho ) 'Course I'm not a baby when it comes to mushrooms anymore either. Thanks to this place and a couple of really nice people (one in particular).

If you can sing "White Rabbit" then you have a set of keys to my heart. 
Alright maybe not that extreme but Grace Slick turns me the fuck on with her voice.

Yes I can sing it.
Unfortunately it isn't always well received where I live. Damn rednecks.
Alot of people here have had their minds numbed by listening to nothing but Country music. Which is ok but definitely not even close to Surrealistic Pillow.

Some people don't know how to appreciate the beauty around them. That's their loss, not yours!

Thank you! Yeah I should have picked a better name, but I'm not changing it until after 10k posts. I figure that's a good a time as any.

You aren't the first to ask and I would be happy to oblige, but as the select few who have seen a very fuzzy pic of me can attest to, I don't have the technology to do it.
I guess you would need to record onto a cd first then download it right?

all you would need is a computer and microphone. record using windows movie maker or even sound recorder just to get an idea of what you sound like.
how else would anyone know how you can sing?

Well not enough people do know that I can sing. That has been a problem.
I'll have to fool around with this. Maybe this weekend when I'll have some time and not be disturbed.
If I had background tracks would there be a way to incorporate the two? Probably would need a mixer for that I guess. Au Capella over the World Wide Web is just a tad intimidating!
But hey! I got an MP3 player for Christmas. Maybe play the background tracks and sing and record it that way? Hmmm.
