I went to see the King’s Singers at the Byham last night. To everyone who also went (and whom I didn’t see there), I hope you had as amazing a time as I did. To everyone who didn’t… good lord, you really missed out.

Now many of you may not know that I used to be a member of an A Cappella group called The Originals. I also spent 4 years in the Repertory Chorus and Concert Choir, and took a year of voice lessons. At one point in time, operatic or jazz vocals were a serious career option for me, one that I never ended up pursuing largely because… well, if you think architecture doesn’t pay well, voice pays even less. Of course, with American Idol I could have maybe had a big break, but hindsight isn’t helping me much now, except to add some wishful thinking.
