Well, I was doing good until today. I hadn't really been ill, except for a slight cold over Easter, so that means I had gone almost three months without being sick. This has been a bad year for me. I swear I was sick for most of December, and then again in January. So waking up this morning with this crud again really sucks! I hope I can avoid the Doctor because I can guarantee that he will put me on Antibiotics, which is not one of my favorite things to do. I think that for the most part these are virus that I have, but the doctors take one look at my throat and they go STREP! I suppose it is the hazard of working with kids.
For those of you following the video saga. Youtube deleted a ton of videos over the last few months. In particular a lot of Bobby Darin videos. I found out that the guy who posted them didn't have permission (duh!!!) and the Darin Estate pulled the plug. I know that myself and a few others have gone out and bought some Bobby Darin CDs and DVDS after seeing the clips so I think the estate is being a little shortsided. Besides I have found a few of the old clips are back up under different users. I think it is a lot like the Elvis videos they don't last long! I bet the Elvis Estate must have a full time guy who sits at a computer all day looking for videos of Elvis to pull! Again I think it is too bad, because it is great advertising, and it keeps these artists alive.
If you would like to see all the videos on Blues Historian (they are embedded videos from other sites, if you represent an artist and want them gone please go to the site that the video originates from) CLICK HERE or on the title of this post.

Sick Again! ACK!!!
Well, you think you are over the crud, and it comes back!! One of the hazzards of working with children. They cough on you all the time! Of course the timing is bad as always. with all of the PR the band has recieved this month, we booked an extra gig for tomorrow night at the Gathering Place in Cherokee Iowa. This is going to be tough! But, as they say the show must go on:-) I am going to drink a ton of fluids tonight, and hope for the best! The show starts at 8:30 so I will give it my best shot.
BTW, I am probably going to be posting off and on this weekend. It is going to be busy, sick or not! However, I hope that by Tuesday things should be back to normal! It has been a wild ride this month. With all the gigs, the class, and the reporters:-) I feel like a rockstar:-D However, I am glad that by February I should be back to the plain old anonymous blues blogger who teaches school by day, and plays piano at night. It is nice to be just a regular joe:-)
UPDATE
Well I woke up this morning and I couldn't talk. So the big gig is off for tonight. It is unfortunate that this had to happen, but it is one of those things. If you can talk you can't sing. I suppose an evening of instrumentals is possible, and probably something I should work up so that if this happens again we can play.
UPDATE II
Still not well, and not sure if I am better or not. I don't think I have slept since Wednesday night. Still drinking fluids, but my fever is coming and going. It really feels like flu to me, but I got a flu shot so I don't think it is. I have to be in Des Moines Monday, and I am hoping to be better by then, but I have learned that sometimes it is best to just wait out this stuff, and not force it. I suppose you let nature take its course. I do know that it sucks to be sick when you are a performer, because it is hard to put on a show when you are feeling sick. That is why I think Bobby Darin was an amazing artist who performed with a heart condition for years. That guy had guts! I wish I had just half of the bravado that Darin had, and who knows where I would be:-)
