Kendall, I am glad it's coming back. I'm glad you were quiet for a while and gave the irritation a chance to calm down - I didn't think you could keep it up very long! The quietness, that is.

Your vocal chords may be permanently thickened and voice lower or you might still have some irritation. If permanent - well, your friend sure sounds like he enjoyed the new voice!

Lemme see - the next time I'm likely to hear you is...urp - Old Songs??!! Maybe I'll make it to the Shanty Swap in Portland. Haven't decided yet. Are you going? If so, I might commit and I'll warm up the fiddle for back-up. Faded Roses and Loreena and...and if you now do those in E or some equally silly key, I'll see what I can do to make your voice higher! (What key are you singing Faded Roses in now?)
