Scott...
I am completely neurotic about sore throats. I have played sick many times...but a sore throat is a killer for me. The one saving grace is that I often use a girl singer and can load her up with the vocals when necessary. In the last 12 years, I think I have missed only 3 gigs... and that was all due to 1 bout with the flu where I couldn't even get out of bed.

We all have our routines for avoiding sickness... and I find Halls Losenges soothing to my throat on the gigs. Other than that, just regular vitamins and the annual Flu shot.

Hope you stay well and have a great gig.
