I Think I Have The Bird Flu

Hi All,

Hope your recovery is going well. I have a short break here in St. Louis and thought I'd comment on the cold i caught in DC. Man, this is some nasty stuff. The crew keeps telling me I have the bird flu and said they didn't want me sleeping on the bus. Guess I'll have to ride a cab the rest of the tour.....they are just joking, but I really feel like crap. I mixed the show last night with a 100 degree fever. I had to wear a parka just to stay warm....it sucked!!! OK, enough bitching.....back to work.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well...that sucks. Can you take a couple of days off and take care of yourself?

Sorry your feeling so bad, but I can assure you its not the bird flu, unless you have been touring in China recently..

Man, you guys are killing me. Still feel like crap, but the Ginseng tea with BC powder seems to be working. No more fever....

Bikeman, there is NOTHING worse than working but working sick? lol...Sorry to hear that.

Yup, it's no fun, but I have stagehands today and they are doing all the heavy work...hehe. I'm just hanging at front of house behind my console surfing the net.

Bikeman, what are you doing that you have stagehands?

Wiversen,

I am a freelance sound engineer and producer, currently out on the road with Toby Keith. We are just doing some private events...fund raisers, parties and corporate events. It's a good way for the artist to get some guaranteed money.

What a cool JOB! I bet you could write a book!
15
Wiversen,

I should write a book? Well, that's a novel idea.....Haha. I crack myself up! I guess I'm feeling a bit better. It is a fun job, but like all jobs it can can suck....Lot's of long hours and tons of travel.

Hi Guys,

loading out the show. Yup, my throat hurts pretty bad and my head is just clogged up as hell. It's tough to mix when you can't hear worth a damned. I just have to go with what I see on the meters.

Boo-- No way, man. Raising teanagers is WAY harder than being a roadie.

Gotta go.....
