What was the best compliment you’ve received?

I was once with a friend in a hall while she was practicing piano pieces. I asked if I could join in and sing a song or two. At that time I had never sung in public and was very tentative about trying. I had a loud voice but not trained.

After I’d stopped singing a man came into the room and complimented my friend for “her” singing. She kindly explained it was me. I felt quite proud that my voice had been noticed, although a bit miffed because the man clearly didn’t think I looked like a singer.

Since then I’ve had lessons and been in choirs for several years. That compliment really got me into singing. X
