Modulating Jane.

Jane Sanders is speaking, right now, in a Wolf Blitzer interview at CNN.

Jane is Bernie Sanders’ wife.

I’m a musician. A musician, with some significant background in voice.

With quite a bit of experience, singing solo, and singing in ensemble and, given a history teaching marching band, with nodes, cord surgery, and follow up voice lessons with none other than the world’s most enduring Madama Butterfly, Louisa Jonason, yes.

I know the voice.

You can tell a lot about a person by the sound of that person’s voice.

It’s called modulation. The voice is either shrill, raspy, tight, muted, or well modulated.

Jane Sanders’ voice is beautifully modulated.

This suggests that she is a woman of inner calm. She takes time to breathe. She takes time to listen. She does not push into the auditory realm; she simply enters, with grace.

You can also tell a lot about a man by observing his wife.

I think everybody, and I mean everybody, should do a search for that Blitzer interview which just took place on CNN. Between 1pm and 1:15pm, EST, today, April 21. Watch Jane Sanders speak, and listen to her voice. Hear what she says.

You’ll be finding out a lot about the man you should be seriously considering as your candidate for President of the United States. And, it doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman.

ALLERGIES!

ALLERGY ALERT: Ragweed [ source of “hay fever” ] is a member of the same family as: chrysanthemums; marigolds; and, feverfew* (“Bachelor’s Buttons”.)

*Aha. Some anti-migraine nasal sprays contain capsaicin, alright, and peppermint….but, also contain: feverfew.

All of these pollens are virulent r.i.g.h.t..n.o.w. in the Great Lakes region, and beyond.

NATURAL ANTIDOTES against “hay fever”: Apple Cider Vinegar w/water (not straight!); Chamomile; and, local honey. Also, apples, non-hairy berries (the hair captures the pollen, in season), red grapes, red onions, capers, and black tea. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which can also be included.

So, if you’re headed out to mail your taxes, prepare ahead – !

Breathe freely!
