Hi all, just thought I'd drop some pearls of wisdom. I had to sing on Christmas morning...on Friday evening I started having a scratchy throat, and by when I woke up on Saturday morning could only sing in one octave. I called everybody who sings for advice and all I got was...silence. Backing out was not an option, as I'm sure you all know how difficult it could be to find a replacement the day before a gig...on Christmas day.
I went down to the pharmacy and got some advice from the man in the white coat. What he gave me was: Homeovox and Vigroids. Well I sang on Sunday morning, albeit sounding like a bad blend of Bryan Adams and Dozi. I kept on jokingly telling them that my instruments intonation is off. I truly think however if I started using it earlier. Or if symtoms started earlier it would've been completely cleared in time..
If anybody else came across something that works, could you please post.

Homeovox: that stuff works miracles! I can definitely recommend it, in fact, pop a couple before a gig even if you don't think you need 'em: they have a preventative effect as well.
