Something to Aspire To

People think I'm a low bass, but not like this guy:

Anna, IL (AP) -- It's official: Southern Illinois resident, Roger Menees, is the lowest of the low.

The former gospel singer from Anna, Ill., received a certificate this week from Guinness World Records saying he had sung the lowest note ever produced by a human voice.

Menees managed the feat on Feb. 11 at his Carbondale recording studio. He hit 0.393 hertz - a very low F-sharp. The previous record was 0.797 hertz.

But Menees says he could have done better and will probably make another attempt if his new record is bested anytime soon.

To put that note in perspective, start at middle C on your piano. Drop down to the F# below middle C. Now drop down three more octaves.

That's low, baby.

Granted, when I get a cold I can hit notes only dogs can hear, but nothing like that.
