One thing I can do is to go back to the vocal exercises I was doing with my voice teacher. That will help. I can also try singing with just a metronome or a backing track. I don't know what else I can do.
This spring, I'd like to get my jam group back together. I'd like to be ready to play.
All your help and suggestions are appreciated!

Or, you could do what Jeff Beck has always done: just go off and do something else (with him it's cars): forget about guitar for a while, and come back to it when you can or are ready. Not completely kidding: I've laid off several times and am always amazed at how quickly I get back to where I was before.
