Anything written on a 12 string I have to know, I'm so into that soubd.
I can't sing it like I used to, but it's not dreadful, so I play it anyway.
That opening is so cool.

I can only hit those notes anymore if I belt it out at full throated max volume and max power. And that don’t work in living rooms. My falsetto voice is done and gone. I can still sing quiet down in the Jim Morrison range. But if I gotta go up high, it’s Paul Rogers or bust. Anything lower than max effort comes out as a whisper.

My falsetto is greatly diminished.
Probably over half of it is gone. Used to get about 10 half-steps above my full voice high. Now, it 4 or 5.
And my full voice is a good note & a half, maybe 2.
Pretty much since I turned 60. I was ok until then.
