Sans voice

Ned:
Good job, glad you're "vocal" again.  Steroids side effects can sometimes be worse than the problem they're curing.

Tom:
Aye thanks Ned, it sure felt good to be once again doing what comes naturally, and not have to lip sync. Had I researched the side effects ahead of time, I might have been reluctant to take the steroids, but now I'm glad I did.

Now if only I could reduce the need for water intake and thereby reduce the trips to the bathroom  :-[   I normally drink a lot of water, but I've almost tripled the intake the last few weeks.

One of the guys in the band said last night "I know what you're going through". One of the ladies asked if I'd put on weight, and I pointed to my stomach; She said "I've heard that steroids cause you to put on weight in other places". I quietly ducked out of that discussion  ;D

SeilerBird:
Speaking of lip syncing, I just saw the strangest case of lip syncing ever. I just bought a 4 DVD set of Elton John in concert.  On the first DVD it is a 2000 Madison Square Garden show where he sings a lot of his greatest hits. On Bennie and the Jets, which Elton recorded 26 years prior to this concert, he sings the line "you know I read it in a magazine". At the end of "magazine" his voice goes up high momentarily. Evidently Elton can no longer reach that note because he sang "magaz" live and then "ine" played from the record. I one syllable lip sync. The line gets repeated three times in the song and he did it each time. I haven't watched all of the discs yet but it will be interesting to see if there are any more notes he can't hit.

I saw Elvis live at the International in 1971 and he sang several songs where he had to sing way way down low, much lower than he could go. So he would fake the deep notes as one of his background singers did the low notes.
