I've often wondered why most people are afraid to sing in public. Is it the fear of being judged by others? Birds are not ashamed. They sing in public all the time, and no one ever judges them. On the contrary, they make people happy. 🐦🐤🕊

That's a good question Dixie. I've never thought about it. Perhaps this is natural for them, and not natural for people.

I once worked in a grocery store with a guy who sang all day while he was doing his job. He wasn't embarrassed. In fact, I enjoyed hearing him sing. He got me to liking some of the songs he was singing.

I may be giving away my age with this comment. Two of Motown's original Temptations were from my home town, and they used to work at a meat packing house owned by one of my cousins. He told me, several times, when they got off from work, they would go the the nearest street corner where there were a lot of people, and sing for a few hours. That's how they got their start. After a while, they left for Detroit, and the rest is history. No one ever laughed at them, and just think about the happiness they gave people over the years.

If you don't mind my asking, what were their names?

Of course not! Their names were Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks. Here's a picture we had taken with Eddie, the afternoon before a performance by the Temptations in our home town. The gentleman on the far left is my cousin, the one they worked for.

I sing in the shower all the time. But that's different. There's no one around to hear me, thank goodness, LOL
