Yes, I have absolutely no singing voice and it&#8217;s been gone for two weeks plus.  I got sick two weeks ago and my speaking voice was all but a whisper.  I feel  better but my voice is completely annihilated.  I am worried sick about it.  I had a dream about me being asked to sing and instead I had to play a recording of one of my songs.  I&#8217;ve even had thoughts of making music the Quincy Jones approach by having other performers sing and play my music, while I direct.  That idea worked for a hot minute.  Okay, so I&#8217;ve jumped the gun a just a little.<\/p>\n<p>I went to the GP yesterday and he couldn&#8217;t figure it out.  He said it&#8217;s time to call the ENT and that is what I am going to do first thing tomorrow morning.  You see, I have hope that somebody is going to return my voice just like I have hope that Barack is going to take action in restoring the economy and the damage that has been done to our nation.  It&#8217;s going to be a tough battle ahead on both accounts because the damage is quite grave.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so bad that I can&#8217;t even hit a note.  The most I can do is squeal like a mouse. Well, if you have any bright ideas or home remedies, please pass them along.  I have temporary lost my voice before, but not like this.  This is bad as the Dow falling 700 points.  I have hope that all will we well again with time and good care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Sunday evening, several days past one of the greatest moments in American history, namely Barack Obama becoming president and I have lost my voice.
