I'd Rather Have Jesus Bass: Tenor Sings Bass: T.W, Pope

What if you woke up one morning and your voice was 2 octaves lower than usual? What would you do?

Artist: T.W. Pope
Song: I'd Rather Have Jesus

I had planned on working on a music project this weekend, however on Friday I woke up with a small sore throat. I thought well maybe it would go away, however throughout the day it just got worse. By the evening it was in full force. I went to sing and as expected I could not hit my notes as usual. But a strange thing happened, I could hit notes in the lower range that I only dreamt of hitting.

A Little History
I grew up listening to my dads gospel music records. Old groups like The Chuck Wagon Gang, the Sego Brothers and Naomi, The Cathedrals, the Stamps, etc. I always thoroughly enjoyed the bass parts. I learned them all, the only problem was I was a kid and could not hit any of the notes. I longed to be a bass singer. Well I waited for my voice to change, funny thing happened. It never changed. So I ended up being a high tenor. [God, has a sense of humor ; ) ]

So what does a guy do when you end up with a voice 2 octives down from usual? Well , You sing of course.

It was kind of hard singing, as I would aim for the higher note as usual only to realize it was not there. So I kept telling myself to aim low.
Anyway, here is some of the songs. If you heard them and did not know what was going on, you would not be impressed. Please remember, I am usually a tenor. I felt like George Beverly Shea, or George Younce.
