A Break

Hi folks. This summer due to a perfect storm of factors, including an endoscopic procedure to remove a gallstone from my common bile duct and a diagnosis of acid reflux (for which I'd never experienced symptoms,) I lost the best parts of my voice. After a long struggle and a lot of vocal rest, I found a really wonderful speech pathologist who has helped me regain my voice, by exercises and steaming. During this time I didn't know if I'd ever sing again, and for a couple of months I was prepared for my solo career to be over. As my voice was I'd have rather quit than continue as a performing songwriter. Suffice it to say, being my own booking agent I held back on booking for a while. I'm taking November off to heal from the surgery, but I'm back to booking myself and I'll also use this time for writing and practicing, and doing some reinventing of what I do as an artist, and really prioritizing what I want to do and how to go about it. It will not include Tik Tok, that much I know. I had an opportunity to do all of this coming out of Covid, but I now find myself for the first time financially not needing to hussle all the time to make a buck as a musician, and I hope to use this time wisely. Coming out of Covid I just jumped as hard as I could back into the hussle. So we'll see... Thank you for all of your support over the years. It keeps me going. WAGE LOVE!
