Of late, my greatest music-oriented frustration has been attempting vocal recordings with seasonal allergies in full bloom. I can manage my voice sounding a little huskier than usual, but when I have a good recording going and it just gives out or cracks on me...ARRGHHH! Anyway, I was wondering if anoyone else has difficulties managing symptoms that interfere with recording or performance? Or maybe you have a good story to share. If not, enjoy the frog.

Yes, with me is definitely getting older and my pitch going out the window.

I tried to finish my EP soon after a Hay fever attack and I thought I was OK. Unfortunately the end result was not what I expected.

Anyway, we would not be alone!

Jo Ellen, my little frog, I also have trouble recording vocals (mainly because I don't like to listen to my voice), but my biggest obstacle to recording happened when I grabbed a soldering iron (out of reflex) with my 'fretting' hand. Talk about frustration. I couldn't even think about picking up a necked instrument without pain.
