Talented Family

I know that many of you must be musically talented. (Because you are part of the fabulous Ladd family, that is why I KNOW) Please share with us... who plays an instrument? Who sings? And, if you refuse to brag on yourself, please dish on other family members that you know have these talents.

Well little Vicki, YOU know I can only sing one song...(not counting the birthday song), so I am definately out on musical talent. You know about this branch, so we need to get the others to fess up!
Sandi

p.s. Vicki's husband put out a record...cd, whatever it's called now. The name of it is....uh hum...."High Nooner". Leaves a lot to the imagination,huh? Well one day I walked into the family room and my 6 & 8 year old grand daughters are jammin' out and singing "I wanna HIIIIIGH NOONER...." LOL! It was a pretty funny site!

ohhh I always loved Christmas Eve at Grandma Earnie's when Uncle Jack played guitar, Uncle JImmy went back-and-forth from guitar to piano and Aunt Sandi sang Guitarzan. :D Those were some of my most favorite memories!!! "Guitarzannnnn hez a monkey mannnn ...Guitarzannnnnn" (Aunt Sandi makes a good monkey)... I can't even monkey sing though so don't look at me! I love to hear Lori sing though... :) Mom never sang before when I was around...except once when we was driving down Nettleton after shopping and she was in a good mood... she was singing low to the radio... I HEARD IT! It was pretty but it was the ONLY time I heard her sing and it was very short-lived.

I heard Debbey sing once too. She and Jodi are both good singers, but I don't think they are ready for the stage!

Sandi, whaddya mean I'm not ready for the stage??? I have a Carol Channing/Ethel Mermen stage extravaganza that rocks the house!

Alright....I sort of, kind of play guitar. I've only been playing for about 3 years -- and I assure you, with the exception of your children, MOST won't like the music I play!! If my Marshall ain't on 11, I ain't a happy camper!

Lisa did buy me an acoustic for Christmas -- something about wanting to stay married or something.....

Here's one on Jodi--she can immitate voices.When she repeats something someone says she uses their voice.Creepy but really,really funny!

My dad is a great guitar player. He played at our block party and did great. I can kind of sing.

Sarah Williamson said...

Okie dokie. I play guitar and sing. I'm told I sound like Allanah Miles or Bonnie Raitt.

Sandi said...

True about Jodi. She can mock ANY one! Betcha Jodi, Orrin and Cory could put on a heck of a comedy show (judging from the posts). Sooo Cuzin Cory...busted by your own son! Bring your guitar. Sarah-you gonna sing the watermelon song or the M&M song?

Cory Ladd said...

Yea -- Dylan's good for that! And he's being modest -- he's an AWESOME singer!

Sarah Williamson said...

I am NOT singing the watermelon song. I don't do that since I' all growed up now! I will do the M&M song though.

Orrin Newton Ladd said...

chicken! everyone else thinks its the watermelon crawl

Dylan Ladd said...

O I will make SURE he brings his guitar!
