It’s true that I had vocal issues for a time in the latter years of my tenure with The Trio. I sought medical treatment and began a rigorous vocal re-training regimen. I still have issues with phlegm, but I’ve learned some valuable warm-up techniques that have improved my performance abilities. As for the coughing you reference, Mr. Marvinette, as you recall when I showed up for my first gig with the “Marvinettes” I was suffering from a cold thanks to my work as a sub teacher at a local elementary school. Timing. And I’m sorry that my cold got passed around to the rest of the group, resulting with hacking and wheezing from more than just me. And talk about lack of vocal abilities, Mr. Marvinette himself is certainly no Bob Shane. Not sure what your reference to cowering “behind a woman’s skirts” means. I’ve never been a cross-dresser, so that statement is mystifying.
