Music Update

For once, I'm not whining about my computer :)

I'll be performing Saturday night.  It's the Missouri Valley Folklife Society "Metro Artists Concert".  Details here.  Tonight, I'll be on KKFI doing the pre-concert interview.  10:00 - 10:30pm if you're interested.  I chose the first slot because I turn pumpkin rather earlier than most lately.  First time on the radio in friggin' years, so we'll see how it goes.  I hope there's more talking than singing - my set is short, and I don't want to blow the whole thing on the air.

In spite of all the head/chest/cold/sinus problems I've been enjoying for the last three weeks, I have not once lost my voice, though there was a brief time that I sounded more like Dick Gaughan than myself.  I pray that continues at least through Saturday night.  After Saturday, I will happily lose my voice for a week, if that's the trade-off Fate demands. 

I'm down mostly to the Cough That Will Not Go Away.  Thankfully, otherwise, I mostly feel fine.  The challenge is getting through a song without coughing, but there isn't much to do about that except to double up on dextromethorphan and hope that the audience is forgiving. 

*cough* *cough*

Ricolaaaaaaa.
