Just seeing him for a precautionary checkup, Kendall. I had a scare a couple of years ago with a lump on my tongue, right where the stem of my pipe used to go years ago when I smoked (haven't smoked for 40 yrs now). Dr. Shapshay removed the lump. It appeared to be benign and has not returned.

The nice thing about my annual visit - apart from the fact that he's a prince of a man - is that he's always got a med student in tow and is willing to do a bit of extra checking out of things, using me as a demo subject (or lab rat?).

So it was that I finally got to actually sing with a scope down my throat this week and to watch my vocal folds at play. I've wanted to do that for years. I'm weird ? So sue me! It was fun. Just a different kind of music video.

Anyway, he asked for you.
