Length of shower: 11 min. ---Singing in the shower is an age old practice that goes back as far as showers themselves. But why? Is it the water beating down on us like rain that makes us just want to sing out for joy? Or perhaps it’s the feeling of getting clean? Maybe it’s even something chemical that the cleanliness seeps through our skin to our tissues and bones and they send signals to the brain, which then sends a message to the lungs and voice to start yelling a melodious tune? Personally, I think it has more to do with the magic of being truly alone and contained in an acoustically fantastic box that resonates our tones back to us with a ringing brilliance that makes each and every one of us feel like singing stars! With that in mind, I wonder why recording studios don’t install showers right into the studio and just attach a microphone above the shower and have singing stars record that way. Wait, maybe that IS what they do? I’m imaging Mariah Carey recording a song while in the shower right now…hmmm what a beautiful image, I mean song, what a beautiful song!!
