Always had a thermos of it handy at singing gigs, and it helped a lot. If I woke up with a bad throat on the day of a performance, I depended on it. At age forty, I decided to become an organist/choir director which I did up to the age of 80 when I retired from my last church job. During those last 40 years, I didn’t sing much. I often recommended my old pineapple juice trick to my choir singers. Now 83, I joined a very prestigious professional choir, and am loving singing again, I’m a tenor and am having a bit of a struggle trying to get my top more secure, but I vocalize more and it’s working. I’m going to go back and try my old pineapple fix, but on your advice I’ll mix it with water. I will still strain the fiber out. We’ll see what it will do for this old man. Cheers.

It is indeed great for speakers, Jan! And the speaking voice is often much more prone to fatigue, dehydration, and irritation than the singing voice. Thanks for bringing this up!

I take it speakers can benefit from it as well. If you’ve ever taught a 2-hour class, this sounds like a great suggestion.
