The gift of Music!


You will have to get out of your comfort zone for this gift idea. My dad's birthday was coming and I wanted something very special and very original. I made my dad a audio tape of myself singing "My Father's Eyes." Singing is not my forte and something I don't like to do for an audience but it was a gift that was from me and I was able to in words and music tell him how proud I am to be his daughter. My notes were not always on key but it was allot of fun to put together and give him. I was able to rent a karaoke machine at a local music store and buy a tape(this was years ago before CD's were at my fingertips!) I also picked up a tape with the back round track of my song. You can usually find any song and get the music to it so you can sing over it. I had to special order "My Father's Eyes" and once it came in I was able to take the karaoke machine and the tape to my room with my door locked and practice singing several times before I was ready to push the record button. I loved making this tape for my dad and would definitely do it again. A wonderful gift to express in your words how special someone is to you! Unforgettable, memorable and a one of a kind gift!!!!
