had damage to their vocal cords from polyps being removed. Their ability to support singing with their breath seems to be part of the issue. Yet I've heard them sing one or two songs pretty well. Tunefully at least. They can't handle a lot of singing anymore so no longer perform. I wonder which it is for Julie Andrews.
