On Tony Rice - it's more some sort of neurological thing - a type of dystonia. He suddenly lost the ability to speak or sing. He's back to being able to speak and with therapy could sing again but he's said he's not concerned with that. Considers himself a picker rather than a singer. While I agree on the picker part I disagree on the singer part. I really like his singing. If you don't have Tony Rice Sings Gordon Lightfoot you owe it to yourself.

Another notable who experienced the sudden need to learn to speak again as an adult from this odd condition is Scott Adams who draws Dilbert. He also got over it.
