Born 1946:
I like to sing in my voice, not imitating other singers. Any similarity to other singers is purely co incidental. One of my fans described my voice as melodic, sensual and distinct and strong. I agree with that comment :)
All I hope to achieve is giving someone else the pleasure I had in singing the song, which is either recorded in my lounge room, or at a karaoke bar. The latter usually has outside sound interference that cannot be avoided. I try to put more feeling and meaning into the lyrics, and hope that it connects with you out there. I have never been in a studio recording, so what you hear is purely amateuer. A lot of fans mark they like a song, but a comment would also be appreciated. May 2020 Due to being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, i am not sure how long my songs will be availabe, Best wishes, Rod
