I recall a quote from Leo Kottke where he said his voice sounds like a duck fart on a cold November morning. I'm not far behind. However, I recently took a shot at writing a protest song and recording it on Soundcloud then posting it on Facebook. I included the disclaimer that after fluid buildup scarring in my lungs from 18 major surgeries I could no longer sing. A friend who is a heavy hitter Nashville songwriter reposted it on his page and Vince Gill's touring partner and writer of most of his songs agreed with my friend that my voice made the protest song "believable". I was on cloud 9. I'm currently in the process of having it professionally recorded during the course of three Saturday mornings in a row at a professional studio with an excellent producer. The playbacks so far are astounding. I got an insight as to how modern technology can make a decent singer out of ANYONE apparently!
