We opened for a wonderful artist last night named Amy Wadge. She's from Wales.
We did a 30" opening set. I played but still could not sing. I had a fever before showtime, so I took some aspirin. Between the stage lights and the fever breaking I was my own waterfall onstage. I thought for sure I would short out my guitar or electrocute myself! I'm sure the audience was thinking that I had the bird flu or something - not a pretty site.
Briana did well carrying the singing for the night and the crowd seemed responsive. We had a two hour ride back to Basingstoke and crashed quickly. We're off on Monday and then resume on Tuesday.
Thanks for follwoing along.

I wonder if you first caught a virus which diminished your immunity and allowed the bacterial infection full reign over your respiratory tract?
