So there I was, making a few ill-thought out moves, listening to some tunes when the superb If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot announces itself over the speakers with that all too familiar opening few bars of twinkling guitar. A small clearing of the throat precedes an opening of the mouth and sound pours out as I sing along to this great song.
Squeals of horror and anguish eminate from the adjoining room and my luvverly co-habitee comes running in only to denounce the "disharmony" of my singing and Gordon's, and that she just can't stand it, and and and that I must desist right this instance.
I sit then, mute, energy left only to pour out this tale of woe. Under the circumstances, have I been fairly squashed, or should one be allowed to sing in his own appartment without fear of recrimination by others (no matter how luvverly the other is, nor how bad the singing)?
Please advise.

Dont forget to breathe.
As for your lovley roomate, hmmm, well, no advice there. In my case, I just do what I am told. Thats why I have such a hot wife.😀
Much obliged for the singing advice chaps. Both fulch and Phlabby sound like they know what they're talking about. Hadn't considered the using of this incident as a weapon of leverage as willatkins sagely suggests - must try harder to learn these relationship tricks and tips. Someone at my place of toil for cash today in fact explained the subtle art of stageing an argument in order to have an excuse to go out/not be around the next day/avoid visiting the parents-in-law etc. I had no idea that this deviousness went on.
Will be having a dabble at Dusty Springfield's Son Of A Preacher Man shortly, once the debris has settled after that last incident.

OK, my little buddy, allow me to give you the only good advice so far on this. All that music sucks. You could be Pavoratti and it would still suck. She wants to hear manly music. Trust me on this. Go gets some Ludicris or some Snoop Dogg, something with some redeeming aesthetic value to it. Jeesh...Gordon Lightfoot. She's gonna turn you into a woman before long. Let me guess, you like Chad and Jeremy too, right? Br. Kirk

Don't worry though, don't worry. Various new-fangled moderny trendy artistes such as Eminem, The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Darkness (😀), The Coral, The Streets, The any - band - you - care -to - mention - so - long - as - it - begins - with - The, as well, dare I say it, the occasional Snoop/Dr. Dre collaboration have all been known to resonate around these four walls according to mood. There's a time and a place for Gordon Lightfoot, you know there is. Don't try and find him though, he'll find you. Lift up your heart.

PS. I've never heard of Chad and Jeremy.
