only a voice
Although people sometimes act like they think so, a singer is not like a saxophone. If you don't sound right, you can't go out and get some new reeds, split them just right. A singer is only a voice, and a voice is completely dependent on the body God gave you. When you walk out there and open your mouth, you never know what's going to happen.
"Lady Sings the Blues," Billie Holiday
[Chicago Avenue west of Damen Avenue]
