I have a microphone on one ankle and an ankle bracelet on the other, so I'm well balanced today.
I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.
I don't write for an auditorium full of people. I don't write for the microphone; I write for the page.
I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone.
I was not a great guitarist, so I sold my 1960 Fender Stratocaster in exchange for a Shure Microphone, made in Chicago, and a flute.
Sadly, there are a lot of ignorant people that have access to a microphone.
