Throat

I've been having an exciting few weeks learning how to sing.  My voice has been trapped in the back of my throat and millimeter by millimeter I'm inching it forward (yes I know but I take pleasure in using both Imperial and Metric systems).  Now I've woken with a sore throat; no singing will be hard but trying to talk much less and listen much more will be very good for me and the children I think.  What will I hear today that I wouldn't have?
Why can't I add pictures any more?
