What do you do for a living?

Actually zeus I'm fortunate to have been retired since 1991 at 44. I spent my working career owning several small businesses, from auto service to printing and copying. When I was younger I was an avid amateur singer, and mega Sinatra fan. I used to get requests from family and friends to sing at weddings and other special events. I dreaded doing it, but I couldn't say no to people I loved. I never could sleep the night before, and right up to the event I was sick to my stomach with nervousness. But as soon as I stood up to sing the sickness went away. I knew I was well rehearsed and sounding good. I guess I projected my own amateur experience on to Paul Potts. I think I know how he felt. I'm delighted that he got a lucrative recording contract, and I wish him many more. Thanks for the post!
