Yep, and there continues the debate.   What would she have sounded like
without?



It sometimes goes back to the bohemian philosophy that you can't create
"true" art, unless you have experienced suffering.



I don't buy into that philosophy, incidentally...

I spend quite a bit of time with my students, explaining the
whys and wherefores of how smoking and drug use affect the
voice.   They've all heard of the other effects, but
nobody ever talks about vocal health.

Depending on how long you have smoked, your voice may never
get back to where it could have been.   It will improve,
nore and more as time goes by, but some damage is usually
permanent,

Sopranos are a dime a dozen. Good altos are rare. Be an
alto.

Wow, that is cool, Ray. That tells me that you really are
a musical
enius. I've always loved music. When I was a kid, I
won talent shows
or singing, but smoking ruined my voice as an adult.
Amazingly, it is
oming back now 10 months post cigarettes, but I am still in
the alto
ange. When I was a kid, I wanted to learn piano and organ
and guitar.
My parents(adopted) would never go for that because I was
typically ADD
nd they were afraid to invest. They did however, invest in
a piano for
y stepsister and when she lived with us in the summertime,
she would
each me to read music and how to play simple things like
Heart and
oul. My friend Belinda taught me guitar chords. When I
found my
irthfamily, I learned why I always felt drawn to music...my
birthfather
as a drummer, and my birthmother played the violin, the
piano, and the
uitar. My sister plays guitar, my brother, guitar, organ,
and drums.
am the only one, in my birthfamily and adopted family, who
does not
lay an instrument.
bought a cheap guitar about 8 years ago, but then RA took
out the
exterity in my hands. I also now have a very nice Yamaha
keyboard, and
do piddle around with that some, but for the most part, I
feel like
've missed my window of opportunity on learning an
instrument for real,
nd so my true enjoyment is with song.

listen to music while working at anything that requires

everything
else that requires focus.?? Mindless work is OK, like oh,
cleaning
the garage, mowing the lawn, etc.

So, instead, I listen to talk radio...?? <BG>
