Being Profondo

The basso profondo is the lowest male singing voice. Coming from a family with 3 classically-trained singers (I'm including my husband in this "family" equation, along with Dad and bro), hitting a low note has always been of concern (and debate).

So my brother posted this video on Facebook the other day. Even if you're not the slightest bit musically inclined, you should listen to this and simply marvel:

Dammit, the video won't embed, but follow the linky!

I played it for my husband, who's a baritone/bass, and he jokingly tried at the notes...and was still about 2 octaves higher.

In other news, I've started a new novel. It's a bit of Leverage-meets-Batman-meets-Venture Brothers-meets-...um, Firefly? Trying to write it NaNo-style, throwing the editor out the window and such. So far I've written 10 pages, which I think is around 6k? And I even did some character-view free writing, which was a first for me, but absolutely necessary to wrap my head around this MC.

Also, we're getting rain for the first time in over a month. It's awesome.

How's tricks?
