an ironic musician

This past Saturday I was invited to lead the praise and worship service with my mom and a friend. It was a last minute thing but I gladly agreed. It was nice to fill my old spot back.

One of the songs that we were going to sing is Silent Night, and easy song to harmonize in. The lady singing with us asked me if I wanted to sing the tenor part. I felt a little embarrassed as I told her that it was best if I didn't.

It is very embarrassing to admit that I, Brian Gonzalez, the voice major cannot harmonize. I can read music and harmonize like that but I have never been able to harmonize on the spot. I find this very sad and embarrassing. Every time that I attempt to harmonize people end up telling me to shut up because I am very off tune. I try very hard but I can never sing the harmony in a song.

When I think about this it is very amusing if you are not the one who cannot harmonize. I guess that my downfall as a musician is that I cannot harmonize and I will always have to admit that I am not a real musician.
