Episode 43: True confessions: I love to sing. (Note that I didn’t say people would want to hear me singing, but singing to me is a joyful expression!)

Even if you’re no Pavarotti, there are so many health benefits to singing that it’s worth forging ahead despite any initial embarrassment. In fact, singing can provide concrete benefits if you have Parkinson’s or other vocal or breathing challenges.
