Bummer

I caught a cold.

A mean one with a fever.

I was coughing so much I couldn't sing!

...which is actually usually the case when I get sick in general.

When it was concert time on Friday and Saturday, I was still unable to sing.

I stood up and mouthed the words on Saturday's two o'clock performance--trying to sing a few notes here and there.

I'm sure I sounded terrible.

I'm also sure I was more a distraction to the performance than a helpful performer.

So, I didn't sing at the night's performance.

One concert out of three after practicing for ten weeks, memorizing, and missing one rehearsal.

One is better than none.
