araily has also encouraged
'|0,Ugh this journey. 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.
