Dear friends, Some of you may be interested to know that , while approaching the end of 16 years as a PWP, I am STILL SINGING! It has been a wonderful challenge to continue, especially since my speech now softens, and my tongue gets stuck when my meds are "wearing off." But, with weekly voice coaching, and after memorizing a 2- hour program of songs for my local mens'' chorale, and having rehearsed weekly or even twice a week, since early September, I gave performances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, here in Maine! There are at his time 34 singers. I am one of 10 basses (lowest voices). Our program includes seasonal, traditional, gospel and entertaining songs. They range from Veni, Veni, Emmanuel to a modern version of Silent Night. We use five languages from four continents. Tomorrow and again on Sunday, we perform as guests of an historic church, the Arlington Street Unitarian-Universalist Church, in Boston , Massachusetts. I swear by my singing and voice program. It is great exercise, and is elevating spiritually, physically and mentally. Wishing all of you inner peace during the challenging days ahead, and best wishes from Ivan Suzman 52-39-36 :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
