Ha ha Jim! I don't think I would ever get a portrait tattoo or names (except maybe my kids). I figure, since all the tattoos I have are done by him, he's already got his mark on me. LOL! Likewise, I drew up a tattoo for him that he actually tattooed on himself... so there's my mark on him! LOL!
Jim, I honestly have to say that I think your voice has AWESOME potential. You have a good natural sound, very pleasant. Hone that along with the guitar skills that you're gaining and everyone around is really going to enjoy it even more with you! I hope that didn't sound negative at all because it's not. I can just hear how great your voice is going to be the more you practice (it's not bad now)... and you have a way with your strumming that is really coming along great. I can't believe you've only been playing for a very short time... you have it in you sir!
Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
