I just saw the doctor and it’s GREAT NEWS! No nodules! She said my vocal chords look good - my problem is that I’m dehydrated and I get allergies. Lol! I am so relieved. I can’t thank you all enough for all the encouragement, all the prayers, and the shared experiences. I guess I was just really struggling keeping such a demanding schedule, running open mics while performing 9-12 hours per week through the summer. It’s a lot of time being on stage, and being on stage is a roller coaster with equal highs and lows. But GUESS WHAT - come December we’re gonna be back it! And I can’t wait! I’m learning more about good singing habits. And I’ve been writing again - I want to revitalize my own original music brand. On top of that, here are the new songs I’ve added this month:
The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel
Look What You’ve Done - Bread
No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature - The Guess Who
Pancho and Lefty - Townes Van Zandt/Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard
Fire and Rain - James Taylor
Operator - Jim Croce
Sloop John B - The Beach Boys
November Rain - Guns N Roses
Turn To Stone - ELO
Sunday Morning Coming Down - Kris Kristofferson/Johnny Cash
Do It Again - Steely Dan
I desperately want to make sure that this time off isn’t wasted - I look forward to having another month to write and learn more songs. I’m feeling very good right now. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH - SEE YOU SOON 
And thank you to Dr. Nicole Bosley at Excela in Irwin/Greensburg. If you’re having throat or vocal issues, I had a good experience
