========================


Singing My Way To Shame





Back to 1966. I really tried to improve my singing in anticipation of the final recording session and eventual release of "Orange Colored Sky". I practiced in my shower at home, even sang in the showers of my hotel rooms while on appearance tours. I rehearsed in showers because I thought it was the only safe place in the world where nobody could hear me. Was I wrong!





Humiliating as this confession is, it's also probably good to rid a haunting nightmare from my subconscious mind. It's like taking a mental enema.





I was on the road and had just finished a grueling six-hour day of signing autographed photos and meeting BatFans. Tired and drained, I returned to the hotel for a quiet dinner alone. Afterwards I went back to my room for peace and solitude. It was late, and I decided to take a hot shower before going to bed. In those relaxing moments, even with the water running, someone overheard me singing "Orange Colored Sky" and reported to the front desk that a cat was howling in my room, apparently trapped in a running shower.





I had forgotten to put the safety latch on my door. Without warning, the night maintenance man came to my room to remove the cat. I saw him and yelled. Through the wavy glass shower door he looked like Mrs. Bates in Psycho.





The man ran out, and I called the front desk to tell them about the intruder and ask them to call the police. The clerk sheepishly explained what had happened and apologized profusely. He even took the room charge off my bill for the night. I was upset and complained that the maintenance guy should have not come into the bathroom after he entered the room and heard me singing. He should have realized that a person was in the shower, not a cat. Again the clerk apologized and said he would talk to the man. Twenty minutes later my phone rang. It was the clerk.





"Mr. Ward, I spoke to our maintenance man and asked him why, when he entered your room and heard you singing, he went into the bathroom."





"Good," I said. "I want the answer!"





"Mr. Ward, I'm sorry to tell you, but even when he was in your room, it sounded to him like a cat was howling in your shower! That's the reason he went in."





I was crushed! HOLY EMBARRASSMENT! That was it. The next morning I checked out and rushed back to L.A.





I re-recorded "Orange Colored Sky". I thought all my practice had made a vast improvement in the final product. It had. It had raised the quality of my voice from the depths of the sewer to the bottom of the toilet bowl. That's what I call progress.





Horrors! "Orange Colored Sky" was released as a single and it got lots of air play. I am told that thirty years later it is still played regularly on Dr. Demento's Sunday show. How appropriate! ~ Burt Ward
