The Squeaky Podium

The podium was fixed for the performance tonight...almost. About halfway through the first act the sqeak returned, and with a vengeance this time! Oh man it was bad...it wasn't so bad when the orchestra was playing a pretty loud piece, but when a soft ballad was being sung, oh wow...it was bad. Just imagine a really rhythmic loud squeak to every single beat. It was distracting, but it almost made me giggle! LOL



During intermission a guy came down with some power tools and 2x4s and fixed it. I think it is fixed this time for good. It sure was a nuisance.



Oh man my chops are hurtin'! I don't know how my lips are gonna make it through 4 more shows...2 on Saturday! Ugh! I think they are swelling! I need to ice my lips! I could have sworn that after the last note tonight they were bleeding! LOL



The performance was sold out and it went very well. All is well. Except for my lips.
