I found an old tape from when I was a Cruise Director and sang a song with the band...is there a way to post an Itunes file here with the song?

So how can I post this song? I managed to get it onto my i-Tunes as a file, but I have no idea how to post it here so CT'ers can listen to it.

Malcolm, I'm a unique individual who is resourceful, and have had a colorful and interesting past. I've lived out most of my wildest dreams & aspirations before I was 30 years old. Now I'm 42 and slowing down a bit, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. I just can't figure out how to post a music file here. Then again maybe no one here really wants to hear it...that's ok too.

Perhaps we could take CT to the next level...we've had text, photos, videos, but few have posted an audio of themselves talking or singing....maybe that type of file is too big for the Travel Page website?

Barry,

To share your performance with others all you need to do is to save the file in .mp3 format and then copy it up to your website (or somewhere else on the Internet) and then post a link to the location here.

I do a little interpretative dance routine. It is called 'Birth of the Tulip'. People are often shocked when they see it.

Nothing wrong with the link.

Which is more than can be said for the singer . . .

What an original genius Barryboat is and how lucky to have achieved so much at such an early age. And the clip[ is great. I've never heard "When You're Smiling" sung to that tune before.

Yes, the orchestra and backing singers are great!

Mrs M walked past my PC while I was playing it. She had no idea who it was or even that fact that there wa a cruisetalk connection. She said "Who's that, some cruise director?"

Just listened to the song, but had to stop half way through.

Suggest that BB keep his day job!!

In our early days of sailing on HAL ships, we had a cruise director, David Lawton who was originally from Wales. He had a beautiful voice and always sang a Welsh song to his mother on her Birthday!! I think she had a birthday every week.

It's not easy walking around the stage and into the audience and maintain real clarity of tone...then again, I never claimed to be a GREAT singer....the bottom line is I had fun and the passengers seemed to enjoy it no matter how I sounded. As a Cruise Director I had to be a lot of things to a lot of people...my illusions production show is really where my main talent was....not particularly the singing. So certainly no hurt feelings here from the song critics out there. I just had to laugh when I found the tape. I also did a song...Beyond the Sea which I enjoyed too.
