She and tband ,Jim have six accom- ilk " children: Johanna and her |ld Ryan, Diana, Maria, A2r n ._. and James. She has b e tag more since the band |,: and has noticed her abili- k'etch as her voice becomes a tiny bit louder. In the past, she had control over her pitch and style and a wide vocal range span- ning three and a half octaves. Now her voice makes her sound like an adolescent going through puberty. She also visualizes singing again to help her body remember what it was like. "I DIDNr WANT my vocal cords to forget," she says. "Re- membering is still painful, but it seems like forgetting would be even harder." For close to a decade, Andrea had regularly performed with local jazz ensemble Swing Fever. Once she couldn't sing anymore, she had stopped even visiting the group's performances because she knew it would be way too emotional tbr her. In its absence, she came to re- alize what a major part of her lit it had been. Swing Fever allowed her an escape, an ability to share and look out into the audience and coax smiles from listeners as she was immersed in the music. Director Stun Yantis, who had been checking up on Andrea dur- ing her recovery, was enthusias- tic about the idea of her singing with the group again. So now she's scheduled to make a comeback performance at the end of this month. She will sing with Swing Fever at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Au- gust 30, as the final act in the an- nual Concerts in the Park series in downtown Shelton. Still apprehensive about what her physical capabilities will al- low and fully aware her voice isn't close to what it used to be, she's excited about Swing Fever's re- ceptive audience. "I know the au- dience there is always happy and nice and they will be generous and not throw things at me," she says. Regardless of the outcome, An- drea's hope has been restored and she's learning more about what is really important in life. "Life is re- ally about who we are as people, not so much as what we can and can't do," she reflects. "But I do need music," she continues. "I'll find a way to surf with only one arm, to sing with only one vocal cord." Recent advances in nerve re- generation suggest the possibility of one day having her full vocal abilities back. For now, Andrea will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of her album, Misty, to the Christopher Reeve Paraly- sis Foundation. While Andrea has many talents and hobbies, she says cooking is not one of them. She shared an easy recipe for oth- er people like herself: Chocolate Microwave Bread Pudding Ingredients: 5 slices of bread 1 can chocolate syrup 2 C. milk 3 eggs Preparation: Tear up the bread and place it in a microwave-safe dish. In a separate bowl, mix the syrup, milk and eggs together. Pour this mix- ture over the bread, smashing the bread down to absorb the liquid. Microwave it for 20 minutes or until the knife inserted in the cen- ter comes out clean. The Journal accepts press re- leases for the community pages up until 2 p.m. Monday. Earlier is better, staff advises. /i i ¸ ¸¸¸! ; L!: i!: :i !iiiii:ii!!ii:iii;!ii:il: extra income Bilingual students encouraged to enroll!
