Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.

I didn't know why I couldn't sing - all I knew was that it was muscular or mechanical. Then, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, I was finally given the reason. I now understand that no one can sing with Parkinson's disease. No matter how hard you try. And in my case, I can't sing a note.

I always knew I couldn't sing, but I also knew I had a voice that isn't heard by many, and that I could learn how to stretch it and make songs sound good.

I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes.

As I got older, I got Parkinson's disease, so I couldn't sing at all. That's what happened to me. I was singing at my best strength when I developed Parkinson's. I think I've had it for quite a while.

I'll never sing something that I've never been through. So even if I didn't write it, I have to have at least experienced it.

My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.

I can read music, but I have no technique, and singing was never an option even though I sang a lot growing up.

I can't sing.

It's never easy to write a song. It's the most difficult thing I do.
