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.

My singing days have passed. My voice is gone. My throat is worn. And my lungs are going fast.

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 don't over-sing anymore, which I used to suffer from terribly because I couldn't hear myself.

I can't sing.

First of all, I love singing. I mean, I get out of bed and I sing. I can't help it.

If I cannot sing, I have the impression that I no longer exist. I mean it. I mean that I am not physically there.

My singing voice isn't like my speaking voice.

Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.
