minor medical miracle cleared the muscle spasms out of my throat that had flattened my voice for most of my life. a friend’s hubs is a fantastic voice teacher, and we’ve been doing ft lessons for 2 yrs now.
he’s become a good friend, and our weekly ‘hour’, more like 2, is half singing, half therapy.

it rly brought music to the forefront of my life. had always been in the background. now i have an album that is my ‘get up and go’ music every day. been a good tool.
it’s been good for my soul. i’ve been tracing my family tree and learning my irish history, and learning irish songs has been great fun.

keep singin
