00:00I'd often joked and said the only thing that's ever been up my nose was my finger.
00:03I never did anything to hurt the cords.
00:08You know, I didn't have any excesses.
00:10And I'm a trained vocalist for many, many, many, many years.
00:15I'm not even what sometimes you call a stylist.
00:17I'm a vocalist.
00:18You know, I've practiced the craft.
00:20So when a doctor had to explain to me that one of the cords was literally atrophying,
00:26so if they're supposed to both look like this, I had one that looked like this.
00:30It was dying.
00:32And they had to put a plastic implant called a medialization, a Gore-Tex plastic,
00:37to get them to close simultaneously and together so that I could hold a tune and have my range back.
00:44Sounds pretty $6 million man to me, you know, but I had to go with it because that was,
00:49it was that or sound like I sounded.
00:54You hear how soft?
00:55The cat's been brought to you when I let go.
00:57And in the process, the doctor said, I promise you nothing but work hard on this idea
01:05and it will eventually get there.
01:08And I had faith in the doctor.
