I wrote the song and my husband, Pat, produced it and did the video. Both of our voices are caput! Mine is damaged & I can't sing anymore. My last real vocal is on "First Christmas Snow" and my poor hubby sang until recently when he had to have all his teeth pulled due to an infection and then getting Lyme Disease. I hired a singer off of Sound Better to do This Too Shall Pass. Thanks for asking. I know - I should be in bed.
