Life gets so hectic, and exciting at the same time, in the vocal world! It's all good, though. Everyday

I am discovering new truths about the voice and the joys of artistry associated with the process of songwriting.

I find it very encouraging that this latest generation seems less interested in turning on and tuning out than the

last. People truly thirst to know about great artists of the past. THANK GOD; I was beginning to lose hope.

Still working on finishing that blues album - and I think I'm looking at January, now. It's gonna be worth the wait though, folks. Hang in there....

The word of the day is WATER We've all gotta hydrate, especially in the winter, when those furnaces are constantly drying up the

air, and our throats, at the same time. DON'T clear your throats.... everytime you want to clear it, drink water instead. The mucous

that forms on the vocal folds is usually caused by dehydration. Too much clearing of the throat can eventually damage those

delicate vocal folds.... (WORD!)

Stay strong, buddies. Thanks for being there, and checking in, once and a while. All the best, Cheryl
