Re: Performing when you're sick?

It's dangerous to play with any respiratory problems, as it is very easy to force nasties from your throat to your ears via the eustachian tubes, giving you a raging ear infection on top of the other problems.

I played once with the respiratory triple threat....flu, bronchitis, pneumonia. I was in the middle of a tour and wanted to keep going until my CO ordered me to the doctor.....the reward for my efforts was an entire two-week Christmas leave spent flat on my back.

Play well, and play WHEN well......
