• When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.

I haven't done anything with it, but it's a card up your sleeve for later in life. It's nice to have, just in case.
