Just wondering if you sing, where and when you do it?
How many times per day do you think you sing?
I have to count but I'm sure I sing at least four times a day, but that's a conservative estimate.

My title is because one morning I was singing the above gospel song and my son looked at me and said, "Mom, cut it out, we're in the parking garage."
"well people would be lots better off if they sang when the spirit said sing."
So he sings and quite well, but he's kind of shy about it.

Around this office we have a new team who sing. I'm so happy not to be the only one.

I sing sometimes. Usually in just a quiet place and sometimes I sing in the car.

i work in a grocery store, and we have music playing overhead...and the past few weeks we've had this really cool 80's channel on..so i find myself singing along quite frequently...some of it's really great...

but i've been found to catch myself singing quietly to myself while walking down the street or whatnot...

love music, and if i have a song in my head, i'll smile and sing to myself..i don't care if people think i'm weird...

makes me happy..and it never hurt anyone to be happy..

I crow (I mean sing) constantly, at school, in the car, at home, in the shower. I like having a job where crowing is allowed. Right now, my class and I are learning the old John Denver song "Farewell Andromeda" (just the first two verses) and "Happiness" from You're A Good Man Charlie Brown.

I used to be in the choir a long long time ago but since then my voice has died.I can make it rain now.Music plays a very big part in my life and Iam always buying c.ds.I could live without television but not my music or books.My taste in music varies dramatically depending on my mood.

When I get into my car, I put my seat belt on, and then I fish on the floor for the dial that's fallen down on the ground because it's the only thing that works on that radio.
I have to have a radio on. Can't even drive without it.

Anytime my husband and I are in the car together, we become part of that Famous trio: Charlie, Linda and Elvis. Charlie and Elvis sing great together, especially Suspcious Minds and Little Runaway. Luckily, they drown me pretty much out. Sometimes we become that trio: Charlie, Linda and Neil (as in Diamond), or Charlie, Linda, and Johnny (as in Rivers). We are very Flexible-we'll sing back-up for Practically anybody-David Bowie, Diana Ross, Queen, Bob Seger--it's all the same to us! We say if you're road tripping-don't forget the CD's!

Oricle- I totally agree. Music beats Tv everytime!!! In sing, generally in my bedroom. I still live at home and my famiily are used to me being the little songbird. I've entered a few talent shows and would love to be a singer. I think music is a passion, its either running through your veins or it isn't, and if it is you can't get through the day without singing or listeing to music.

Littlowl.

It is now 12 noon. I've sung about four times since I got up. I'll probably sing a few more. Life is good.

Okay, I can verify, that yes jaydodo does sing constantly and i wish you all could witness the "chair dancing".
I love to sing, but i mostly save it for the car.
