Sore throat is bad for business

So I’ve been fighting a kind of sore throat since the weekend. It’s been just bad enough that I haven’t been able to do any ‘real’ singing – but just NOT bad enough that I still went a rehearsal last night in hopes that I could… what exactly? I have no idea. Work through it? Persevere? Soldier on?

What a bad idea (although the rehearsal was fun…).

Have you ever seen a picture of what vocal chords look like? They’re about 1/4 inch long, about the size of the eraser on a pencil – they look like skinny pink slugs. And when you talk or sing they look like skinny pink slugs doing the shimmy. And when you cough they look like skinny pink slugs enduring a severe earthquake. You can see a picture of vocals chords here, but be warned, it’s kind of gross.

Well this morning my slugs made it perfectly clear that they’d had ENOUGH… and they weren’t going to shimmy any more without causing me some trouble.

So session work is pushed back probably 48 hours at least – looks like Thursday and Friday are going to get a little frisky…
