Meg is Trying Her Best

Meg is Trying Her Best

If you've found yourself here, hi there, I'm Meg. Just a singer, working to learn a little accompaniment and get back into music. Trying to unpack my baggage, one shitty cover at a time.

I'm really enjoying this chance to learn and grow in a creative direction that is just for me. Thanks for being here, I appreciate it.

I think I'll stick around a while longer if you decide you want to stay too. ❤️

    Another episode of the challenge showing steady improvement with a love of the music and an interesting reverb (when it first appeared, I had to rewind and look to make sure Meg's identical twin sister hadn't joined in the fun; I couldn't see the twin, so I suspect Patsy Cline dropped in as a backup singer).

    @@MegisTryingHerBestOK I wasn't complaining. I wondered if you were experimenting with reverb, but perhaps the reverb was experimenting with you. Either way, changes add to the experience and give one the opportunity to write a comment.
