Can You Carry a Tune?

I can't. Most of my family can't. It is just one of many talents we lack.
My husband can sing, and sings to me all the time. My grandson can carry a tune, and has a sweet little voice.
You can imagine our surprise when my granddaughter had to sing, accompanied by a piano, for her audition of Peter Pan (not Mulan). Somehow, she belted out a tune and will be singing and tap dancing in the show off Broadway at age seven.
Now I will howl along to the radio.

Nope ... I am not a good singer, although I enjoy singing when I am alone or with friends.

@DianneN - I confess that I hate to sing hymns in church and I often just mouth the ones that are too high for me!

At least the little ones are your saving grace!
My siblings and I have this talent and got this from our Dad. My Mom can't sing as beautifully though. Now that I have a family, my only son inherits that talent in singing and not only singing, he can also play various musical instruments.

I've always liked to sing, but I'm not gifted at it at all. My hubby has a wonderful voice. I remember going to a parish breakfast just after we moved out here and a lady came over to our table and complimented him on his voice, she said that she was sitting in front of us. He blushed, but I've heard other people say the same thing. One of our nephews is married to a grade school teacher who is the school's music/dance teacher. She teaches all of the grades, she has a beautiful voice, but told me that we all have a singing voice somewhere inside of us.

I can but sometimes my voice wanders (especially when there are pretty ladies around). Everyone in my family sing or could easily carry a tune. My wife, our 4 children, our daughters-in-law and all our 7 grandchildren, all can sing. And the most talented as far as singing is concerned are our youngest 3 grandchildren ages - - 9, 7, and 6. We love listening to them when they sing "frozen." . . In the reception of our daughter's wedding, my wife sang a wedding song instead of giving a speech. I opted to deliver the best speech (that is what I think) in my life instead.

I have a fairly good voice but my granddaughter has an excellent voice and I tell her she should audition on either American Idol or the Voice. How wonderful to hear your granddaughter will be singing and tap dancing off Broadway

That is a good question . . I don't know all my close relatives including my spouse can carry a tune well . . I can but sometime fail. But my wife says that when a little bit tipsy, I sing quite well like Julio Iglesias. .
