Another in an email to me:

Chongo,

I am an old folkie, and hammered out a few songs in the 60's. I don"t remember much about that time anymore, and can't seem to recall how I did it back then (it's all a bit of blurr)?

Problem is, I got something caught in the back in my throat a few years back, when I drank some of "Popcorn's shine". So,I can't sing very well anymore, my voice being quite nasal. In fact, people say it sucks. I'm not saying my sing'n is worse than that Yoko's girl, and it hasn't stopped me from try'in.

My question is, is there anything you can stir up in your chimp cauldron, or suggest something to get my voice back? If it can't be done, should I "pack it in", as not to blow my sing'n-writ'n legacy? I'm not get'n any younger, dude, and the hopes of "get'n it up" again are flickering low.
