I can hear you from here, Don!!!

I agree with you about vocal technique. I take voice lessons from Eileen Smith who coaches performers at the Stratford Festival Theatre. She really knows voices. She helps one to find one's own best healthy voice. It's good. And yes, helpful when you have to sing for a living!

Drugs too. Yum.

I think I'll go hunker down now.....
