The Joy of Sickness
When I first got this sore throat, I thought it was going to be all bad.
I'm listening to my soundtrack to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and I'm happily singing along while Pharaoh freaks out about cows that don't get any fatter and cannibalistic ears of corn. Which is when I realise.
Pharaoh's a bass part.
And I'm singing along. Right down to the bottom F sharp. You know, not the one below Middle C, but the one an octave below that. I tried it on the piano, and I've even got an F natural, which is the theoretical bottom of the bass range. And sure, the volume's not so huge right down at the bottom there, but it's solidly on pitch.
I usually find the best and most comfortable parts of my voice are the tenor range more than the alto, but I'd forgotten how much my range extends when I'm sick. This is just plain awesome!
Off to pull out the Seargent from Pirates of Penzance. We charge you yield! In Queen Victoria's name! Ah, darn, don't quite have a bottom E flat. Ah well, hopefully it'll come.
*pokes throat* Get sicker! Sicker, I say!
