Voice Shot Through

First night of the tour with Mr Knightley in Stround last night, but i almost didnt play. Was almost going tp pull out but hate the thought of letting anyone down.I lost my voice after rehearsels on Wednesday and could hardly speak last night. I very rarely loose my voice but it has been a brutal schedule with more to come. It always seems to happen when i`m playing with Steve..hmmm. Anyhow, narrated most of my words last night in very low keys and sounded like Lee Marvin on speed! I`m told it has it`s appeal, but frankly its a horrible feelin not to be able to do what you do. Like one of those nightmares when your trying to get somewhere but can never quite arrive. Its a little better this morning but expect another husky low pitched Welshman in attendance at Ludlow tonight.
