One of the most difficult members of a band to recruit I believe is a capable singer. Period. Guitarists, we come a dime a dozen (haha sorry!), but a really good vocalist is worth their weight in gold imo ( drummers a close second ! ) .. So I always have my eyes (and ears) peeled for discovering that elusive 'golden' prospect.

I was at the mall when I heard this guy belting out some tunes on a karaoke unit. I asked if I could record him because I was enjoying his singing , and he permitted me.

"Can you sing __________ ? " I asked and he acquiesced, citing it wasn't his strong suit but he would try.

Anyhoo.. this wasn't his best I could tell, but the potential was definitely there. What do you guys think ?
