“When I started out playing guitar and singing, I was about twelve, going on thirteen. The role models for me back then were the folk singers. They all had these high, really nice voices and ranges, like Judy Collins and Joan Baez, and then later, of course, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt. I decided early on that I was going to learn how to write songs really, really well, because I didn't want to have to compete as a singer. I didn't feel that it was my strong point.” WantFeelsWritingWellsSongCoursesStrongVoiceRolesNiceModelsSingingDecidedGuitarFolksSingersRangeRole ModelsTwelveReally NiceThirteenPlaying Guitar Author:Lucinda Williams

“Everything comes from one thing, everything comes from the Spirit. Jazz would not exist had it not been for gospel music, the blues would not exist had it not been for spiritual blues, which goes back to slave songs our fore fathers were singing while they were out in the field. So it's all one continuous growth from one group of people. Of course jazz now is played by various cultures and colors around the world.

“I sustained an injury by singing with the flu during the second performance of Andrea Chenier in Buenos Aires. I was very sick, with chills and sweats, but against my better judgement I let them talk me into singing. Of course I gave the performance everything I had and my voice was hurt. It was scary at first, but fortunately there was no permanent damage. I just had to be patient and wait for the voice to return. It took six weeks of physical recuperation and it took time to recover my confidence as well.” FirstsWellsCoursesWaitingVoiceHurtWeekReturnSixSingingPerformancesSickPatientScaryPermanentJudgementDamageInjurySweatChillBe PatientFluAndreaBuenos AiresRecuperation Author:Ben Heppner
“I always wanted to sing, I always loved to sing. As a child I was singing all the time, and my parents were singing all the time, but not the traditional songs because they were very Christian; the Christian Sámis learnt from the missionaries and the priests that the traditional songs were from the Devil, so they didn't teach them to their children, but they were singing the Christian hymns all the time. So I think I got my musical education in this way. And of course the traditional songs were always under the hymns, because it doesn't just disappear, the traditional way of singing.” ThinkingWayChildrenWantedChristianSongCoursesParentTeachSingingDevilMusicalDisappearTraditionalPriestsHymnsMusical Education Author:Mari Boine
