    Default Gig tonight and I'm sick as a dog.

    I managed to come down with a pretty good dose of bronchitis and I'm sapped out....................................and we're playing a gig tonight. I've played gigs sick before so I know to pace myself and take in plenty of water. The meds I was prescribed are potent and space me out a bit. I just hope I can hold the edge for the night.

    Going to be an interesting night.........................

    Just remember, there's nothing like a few beers to take the edge off of prescription drugs. It will put you in the right place for that 90 minute free form jazz odyssey you and the band have been meaning to do.

    Och, that's not good. Hope the meds bite fast.

    The meds are helping greatly, but they're making me just a tad spaced out. I'm going to have to dial in hard to stay with it tonight.

    Might as well turn out to be the best gig yet

    If that's the case then you'd better play bass.

    Some of my best gigs have been when I've been in less than an acceptable state of being. Here's to wishing you well tonight.

    Well, I survived and played fairly well considering it was like out of body experience....................nothing like playing driving rock when your mind and body are in a different area code.

    By the middle of the last set I was physically near the end of my rope, but I gutted it out.

    I think I'll take it easy today and just rest.........................:
