There must be a lot of budding doctors/herbalists out there, judging by all the suggestions about cough remedies, etc. I still have the cough but the "performance" (of 2 songs, "Lord Franklin" and "All the Good Times", if anyone is interested) on 14.1.2003 went reasonably well, in that I didn't cough and managed to sing in tune during the actual performance). As to whether it was much good, that is debatable. I recorded it on a high quality Camcorder and when watching it afterwards actually found it a bit embarrassing, ie rather nasal, as if I was holding my nose, and also a bit childish (even though I am 49!). As other more experienced singers sounded OK on the same tape, may be it is just me (this is not simply false modesty, but an honest opinion). Of course the audience clapped, but then they usually do.

I suppose for proper comparison I would need to have Video footage of me singing when the cough/cold is completely better. Does anyone out there have any comments about seeing or hearing themselves on Video or Audio tape, etc?
