Will Herman the Merman find his Voice?

I unlocked this Herman the Merman Quest when I reached Level 25, finding it on my Items tab on my Dashboard:

"What's a Merman to do if he can't sing? Your Squidoo Quest is to help Herman learn about music and help him find his voice."

Many suns ago, I didn't think I could sing either. Then one day, my spirit began to sing its very own lyrical impressions in its very own voice. I think I've found some Squidoo lenses and a few poetic creations of my own to instill in Herman the Merman the belief that he can do same.

Dance of Dreams

type=text

We head to A Musical Carnival of the Animals. From the animals, Herman learns all about rhythm and movement and more. Suddenly his dreams of finding his singing voice seem more attainable. If lions and tigers and bears can sing, then why can't Herman? So, he dares to dream and his spirit begins to sing.

Gospels

We spent a day learning the Best "one-rehearsal songs" for gospel choir. Easy learning and easy listening -- you should hear Herman singing straight from the depths of his soul! And, Herman may even share with you a recording of him singing the song of your choice (if you ask him in your best pleading voice).

Musical Swing

Musical Swing

Truer verse has never been sung than It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing). And we think nobody sings it better than Herman the Merman himself! Are ya listenin'?

Saturday's Song

Saturday's Song

Saturday afternoon was such a gorgeous day that we spent time in our back yard with Bird songs and birds voices - a guide. And the red, red, robin had Herman bob, bob, bobbin' along as he sang his very own song. The neighbors heard the sound of our music and joined in, too, and the entire neighborhood sang in perfect harmony, just like the Penguin Cafe Orchestra has been known to do.

Robins and Penguins for you to Treasure

Sunday Lullaby

Sunday Lullaby

Herman found out he can sing the most Soothing Lullaby Songs for Babies. He enjoyed the gentle sound of his own music so much that he spent a Sunday afternoon searching for a new home with a street address that would reflect his lyrical voice. Now all the Merman mothers in the neighborhood ask Herman to sing their children a bedtime story.

Lyrical Impressions

We planned a li'l back yard barbecue, inviting all of Herman's buddies. It seems every one of them was a music maker. All of a sudden Herman shouted, "Good Grief I'm Covered in Guitars!" No problem. As the good ole boys began strummin' their strings, Herman began to sing.

Herman the Merman was himself humbled by the discovery of the lyrical impressions his voice would sing that evening. Pure poetry. Forevermore.

Has Herman the Merman found his Voice?

I learned about this book via PrettyWorld's Squidoo lens How To Set Your Inner Musician Free and figured surely it could help Herman and me.
