Guinness Book of Records attempt ? Did I hear that right. Yes, yes I had “do you want to join in? ” Do I, yes but I am no good at singing!

I was talking to my almost sister of 48yrs. We had been sisters in law for so then when her marriage disintegrated we stayed friends even stronger,  almost sisters as I said!

So lets get this straight the Rock Choir that she is in is taking part in an attempt to get the largest amount of people singing the same song at the same time.

The idea is that at the allotted hour tomorrow Rock Choirs linked around the country will be singing ‘Baby When Your Gone’ a Brian Adams song. A huge undertaking with crowd marshals and  Guinness Book of Records officials and referees !

Before I knew it I was saying yes : Right I had four days to learn the song and the bass part. This I approached with real zeal putting the song onto my iTunes and iPod! It accompanied me working around the house, to physiotherapy, the gym, shopping, walking . I have been eating , sleeping and drinking this song!

I have embarrassed myself and others bursting into song at the gym, in the supermarket and just walking in the street!

I have worked hard at learning the song and I really hope that I can do it justice tomorrow! We have all bought tickets to attend , that way we are raising money for a homeless charity, I do know which one at the moment I shall tell you all tomorrow when I know, rather than guess and be wrong.

I am wondering how long it will take to get the song out of my head after the event is over?? Will I be scarred for life!! I know one thing after my accident three years ago I never thought I would able to do half of what I have made myself relearn to do. But I have and I am quietly proud of what I have managed to achieve and I am really excited about tomorrow . So please all of you good friends of mine out there wish me luck for tomorrow. Oh! yes and my almost sister as she will be standing right next to me ( she is a member of the choir) having to listen to me! and guide me through the moves!!

Here is a youtube clip of one of the Rock Choirs, this is not the choir I shall be singing in but no doubt these ladies will be singing somewhere tomorrow at the same time as us!  Singing makes me happy and if we can help others in need all better the world needs to sing more and do it together!
