Gentlemen: As the saying goes "missery love company" and boy do I need some company now! I struggle to my gig last night in Brooklyn; just the general malaise that accompanies a chest cold. Fortunately the coughing sneezing, etc hasn't started yet. However, when it does eventualy, I have the "best" medication I have ever found in my 35 years career as a singer, and it works like a charm, is prescription, but is worth a visit to the doctor. The name is Tosinex and it comes in a syrup solution. Best of all, one teaspoon of the stuff and you are ready for 8 hours of "non-coughin, very elated, happy-go-lucky" playing, courtesy of the codein in it. Seriously gentlemen, it works. Give it a whirl.
