I think I can be content to stay in the same system and do the creative writing on the side. It's not as "romantic."

Heck it was good enough for Herman Melville and T. S. Elliot, and Geoffrey Chaucer, I wouldn't knock it! Welcome back! I have heard of natural baritones singing second tenor, especial Wagnerian tenors, but first tenor!! It sounds like you have the range that Julie Andrews did, although in a lower register. Of course it looks like we are short of tenors, so you will likely be stuck there at Entmoot.

I'm not knocking it. Just faciing the reality that I can't pay the mortgage with it (just yet)!.

As for the tenor thing, I should point out that I sing 1st tenor in the choir. I wouldn't dream of doing a 1st tenor solo. There's a lot of difference in having a good choral voice and a solo voice. Any solo I'd drop down to at least 2nd tenor if not baritone. Singing first tenor has indeed stretched my range. In college I could've hit those low notes with g'nad. I can still get close, but there's no "depth" to the sound.
