I actually remember making the breakthrough, when I realized I could be singing something completely different from what my hands were doing. I was like, "OH! This is how it's done!"
Actually, Paul's description of rubbing your tummy and patting your head is not a bad analogy. Once I discovered how to do it, though (like balance on a bicycle), then-- watch out! Vocals all over the place!
Can't dance worth a darn. Do not ask me to play and move. Thank you!
