Lose My Hair & I Don't Care --- Samson Was a Wuss

That's my friend Daniel Bloomberg above.  Not only is he battling a second round of cancer with more courage than I can summon when faced with a hangnail, but he can look right into the camera in this video and sing his heart out, through vocal cords that got wrecked during treatment.

I talked to him a few days before the video was recorded and he was hoarse as a chain-smoking horse whisperer (he still is hoarse, and seeking a fix now).

I didn't pay much attention to the song, but his nerve is humbling.  And note the joy as, clearly hitting some notes, he can feel his voice breaking through the clouds.
