That's what advanced age and too many years of abusing the vocal chords one way and another will do for you. ;-( BR> Speaking of which, we just got a new singer for our band.

I don't have any problem with female singers. In fact, I prefer working with a female voice. 'Course, I'm not doing a blues thing anymore - I'm more into pop and other styles that have lots of vocal harmonies - but we had a chick singer in the last R&B band I played with and she was quite good, too. Good luck! Martin ~~~~~~~~ ___ MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.36 --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: The Eclectic Lab (1:153/831) .
