You can totally get it back, Connie. I mean, maybe not every note, but singing is a physical skill like any other, I think.
Nice acronym, Mom!

Is that strictly true, though? I thought voices got lower as we get older. I was a first soprano in college, and I'm 52 now. My alto range still works very nicely.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I think it's just a question of practicing in your upper range. I know several singers much older than you who continue to sing high (sometimes excessively high, in the case of one descant-loving member of my church!)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Voices change to an extent, but mostly through your teens and twenties. The more you use it, and the more you challenge your range, the more of a range you will have.
(Also, thanks a lot, Jesse. WOOOOORTHY is the LAAAAAMB that was SLAAAAAIIIIN!)
The plumber that was supposed to show up today just called to cancel. I put on pants and everything.

That's what I meant by not every note, but of course there are older first sopranos, as Ouise says! I've probably lost one whole step over the past 20 years, and I smoke!

I can join in the bassline from time to time.

java, are you close enough that you could do a separate lunch or dinner with gift exchange with the ones you'd like to gift? That's what I generally end up doing with my girlfriends with huge families that I'm not especially close to. We get together and hang out for a while, exchange gifts (and because I like doing presents, sometimes gifts for their hubbies, if I consider them friends [or have a theme I like to hit] and for their kids). Sometimes we end up not "doing Christmas" until well into January, but it's nice to find the time to be together along with fun gifting.

What do you singer folks do to practice? I miss having a really good voice. Just sing along with stuff every day? Scales?
