Thanks for the reference Lloyd. Son finally got it for me
from Con library. Fascinating stuff. Am I allowed to quote
at least one of the striking details?... :) Dammit I will!

Vocal fold length 1cm
Vibrational amplitude 1mm...amazing!
Mass of fold 1 gram...even more amazing.
Smallest vibrational period 1ms.

Wow.... but there's still more...

So how do I manage NEVER to cough again?

Serious question... when recovering from a serious cold
where your voice has been assaulted for weeks, what is
the most systematic method of rejuvenating it?
About 6 weeks ago (no exactly 6 weeks ago) I was struck
down by my dear daughter's cold right at the peak of my
(ample) :) ability. It rapidly peaked and calmed itself within
a fortnight but then the irritation seems to keep me from
regaining my previous peak. What am I supposed to do?

Any good ideas?
