Speaking of your bed music, I remember, a while back, a tune I recognized but couldn't quite place. It was driving me nuts. I described it in the comments, and you identified it as "Solitaire" by The Carpenters. I was so happy that you solved that mystery for me. Thanks, Bronwyn!
I love it!! I play my bed music playlist from Spotify though :( this makes me realize I need to figure out how to do my bed music playlist shuffling in a way that includes non-spotify tracks!! :)

Song:
"Lover" by "Peggy Lee with Gordon Jenkins & His Or...
"Lover" is a good chromatic singing exercise.

Listener Gregory:
Lover: I find this song very different. The background is so fast and nervous; the melody is much slower. Or is it Jenkins’s arrangement?
I'll just stick it in DistroKid and you'll be able to find it in Spotify. [bleh] I put "The Momus from Nezhige Thistle" in there, in the hope that THE ALGORITHM will play it for some unsuspecting chimp.

Two advantages of being on the Drummer stream instead of the mothership:
1. You can curse freely, without consequences.
2. No long commute to get home after the show. You are home!

I, too, like the way a cold lowers the pitch of my voice. Gives it greater gravitas. I don't think it makes me more sexy, though. At this point, that would be asking the impossible.

Listener Gregory:
@Dan S, you have reached the upper limit and cannot increase further.
I always record my voice when I have a cold, I like it much better. In fact I cloned it on eleven labs and can replace my voice with my (better sounding) voice! Me reading a Brecht poem with a cold: jhhl.net... , 11labs example: largelanguage.bandcamp.com...
If I lived then, I might have instead watched "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" on NBC's "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" those same three consecutive Sundays. disney.fandom.com...
Tim is doing a good job here, even has a fun accent.
