  I can do them, but not as well as I once could.  That's what
advanced age and too many years of abusing the vocal chords one
way and another will do for you.  ;-(

  Excellent!  I don't have any problem with female singers.  In fact,
I prefer working with a female voice.  'Course, I'm not doing a blues
thing anymore - I'm more into pop and other styles that have lots of
vocal harmonies - but we had a chick singer in the last R&B band I
played with and she was quite good, too.

  Good luck!
