If we can't laugh at ourselves in this crazy process of learning to sing, we

I also tried quacking with a girl today and it was quite effective!!! And
there is LOTS of laughter in my studio as well... in fact, I had a very
talented older bass a few months ago and I was very uncomfortable with him
because he never cracked a smile!! He was a very uptight man and when I
moved, he decided to take some time off. Frankly, I was relieved ... nice
guy, but he made me feel uptight and I don't like that!!!
