PSA

Blue- 

I've been reading the "ALS- Something Different" thread.

Good Lord! I am SO not integrated with the community. 

I am clueless! I'll need to spend most of my time reading and researching to be able to spar on PLM (articulately). I could do it. Selfishly, I have this fear that entrenching myself will make me worse. (This is probably wrong).

I was thinking of bringing a video camera and shooting a mini doc. This would take a lot of focus and time. But I could do it. I guess I'd have to come up with a list of five questions to ask each person I met. That's a pretty simple approach to a documentary.

This weekend I'm going to a recording studio. Before DX, I was working on a cabaret. I have a good voice. I'd been developing it for a few years; getting music transposed, working with a coach - and then BOOM! ALS. My voice is disappearing. I DO have a recording of my last coaching session on tape. It's a bit rough. But I'm going to digitalize it and try to tweak it to make it sound better. It's the only record I have of my efforts.

I have this scary idea for an ALS PSA. 

We hear the announce,

"This is Charlie's voice two years ago".

 (play snippet)

 - then -

 "This is Charlie's voice after two years of ALS". 

(the same song only with me singing it in my present condition).

It could be frightening. (Maybe).

I could use simple graphics and let it go viral on the web. 

If I did it, who would get mad at me? ALSA?
