The pollen count is off the charts, plus, it was a smoky bar. At the gig last night, my voice would just disappear during a song! Some notes just don't come out! Weird! I kept drinking water. I also have some throat spray for singers; maybe I should have used it more. Yet, I really don't know how to combat this. Any ideas, another gig tonight in another bar. I hope it is not as smoky, probably won't be, that one last night was extra bad. This "problem" happened several times during the gig.

The other issue is cig smoke. I swore off playing in honky tonks months ago but I really needed to test some equipment, so, I booked these two gigs. Gosh, I hate cig smoke.
