I sing any time I drive, and it really feels awesome to exercise what
I've learned in school.  Alas, I'm in Philly, and I left my vehicle at
my mom's house while I'm here, so I pretty much only drive when I'm on
break.  If I would just not care and sing everywhere, I'd likely be a
far better musician for it!  (and have far fewer friends)
