I have laryngitis. How did I contract this loss of voice? My doctor (read: husband) thinks I have been singing too much lately. Now this would make sense if I was say Celine or Whitney, but I am not. Hell I am not even Jessica Simpson. (But I'd like to be....) I sing all the time however, At least 4 shows a day at "Live from The Master Bath". I also perform in "The Liberty on the Freeway" several times a week. I also do a biweekly show at "The Cathouse in Greenwood" I must rest my voice because my album "Pug Kisses" is about to be released. It is mostly a cover album of Stevie Nicks, Indigo Girls, Eagles, and Sarah Mclachlan songs. I might also be going on tour soon (read: karaoke at Journalcon) so I must make sure my voice is in prime operating condition. My vocal coach (read: Brynnonna) is making sure that I place my face over my steamer. It opens pores and heals the larynx....who knew? I am also sucking on Ricola like it is a cracksicle. The most difficult thing is not being able to yell when Cunny Lingus (read: Grommit) is doing unmentionable things to the shih tzus staying with me.
