#tbt 2012. August. 27th. Can't forget a day like that. This is a picture of me getting injections into my throat after finding out only a few minutes before that the only way to sing again was through months of chemically-imposed silence. (Look at that happy mug.) Three days later my voice was gone and the healing started. One word I never liked before but use without hesitation: gift. Talent is a gift. Bragging about it or letting it go to your head is about as interesting as boasting about how expensive some present you received is.
