Simon, your "not lost" signature reminded me of when I worked at Sears Roebuck when I was your age and we were talking about marriage and "why haven't you found a husband?" and I haughtily replied that I hadn't found a husband because "mine" wasn't lost and someone quipped (I think my manager :-) "Well, if he isn't lost, he's probably running like hell!"

A plan, a vocal coach plan! How exciting. Hope some of the excitement stays with you.
