How the hell did this happen today at exactly 5:00am?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d been just cruising along doing all the normal things, like going to Woodstock, having a science career, becoming a college faculty member, photographing almost every rock star in existence, getting published globally in hundreds of magazines and books and now moderating a local history site and leisurely shooting everything else in existence and posting it all as if it might be of interest to someone and this is what I get for it all? OLD<\/em>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Just think\u2026\u2026..if I could sing – or actually play<\/em> one of my guitars – I might have been able to add \u201crock star\u201d to the list\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026AND maybe I could have even had the chance to professionally photograph myself while performing! That would have been a first!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enough self-pity. There\u2019s no sense in bitching about that which is unalterable, so instead, I sought professional counseling and met a support team consisting of two voice coaches (of sorts): Dr. V. Odka and a VERY loud volume controller, who goes by \u201cPioneer\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, they created a mimicker who could hit a few notes, but only<\/em> in their presence (meaning I won\u2019t be touring).<\/span><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the result (recorded four days ago………..and crank the volume WAY<\/span> up):<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whaddaya think? Bear in mind that I\u2019ve only had LVI years to practice “Little Girl” and that I \u201cborrowed\u201d it from a Syndicate (of Sound). I hope they don\u2019t have a pair of cement shoes waiting for me after they hear this.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for reading, listening and for not posting a laugh track in response.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey – you only hit LXXV (a Super Bowl designation in 19 years) once!
