Manny Laureano has a spectacular aura about
Y'know...

I actually made Greg sing when he came over to the house recently... the boy got pipes, seriously!

I echo what he said. Now I'll add a little something that might be useful if you're doing signing with the band. Very simply and frankly, we older cats have a habit of, when we breathe to sing, of not ALLOWING our gut to do what it wants to do naturally. That is, we need to grant our abs to go soft and flabby when we take an expansive breath. I'll bet you do what I used to do and that is to subconsciously tighten up a bit while trying to inhale.

Go ahead and let the abs move outward. Don't MAKE it happen. Rather, LET it happen and you'll notice right away that you'll have more fuel for the song. Give it a go.
