The show *must* go on...
Sometimes being a musician is a conflict of priorities. Last night I had the choice between taking care of my health and being possibly considered a "flaky musician."
I've had some odd health stuff happening lately, mostly fever. Well, last night I went to play a show at a new venue, and I was not fit to play. My temp was over 100 when I left for the gig.
It was actually a pretty good show. People enjoyed the music, I was connecting well with the audience, and I pretty much had fun until the chills started in, late in the final set.
But my temp was about 103 when I got home, and I'm still not in good shape today. On the plus side, maybe whatever this is will finally start running its course. On the minus side, it's no fun to live through. :(
But I've definitely impressed the venue owners with my commitment to keeping my commitments.
Ah well...back to bed, or back to watching remodeling shows on HGTV.
