[Harp-L] if your really congested? and you have to play

[Jason Rosenblatt <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suffer from allergies so performing in hay-fever season can be a 
drag. Allergy medications don't usually work quick enough, or dry you 
up quick enough. I recommend over the counter decongestants for colds 
taken about an hour before show-time. Make sure you drink a lot of 
liquids (non-alcoholic) because those things will dry you out and 
there's nothing worse than playing harp with a dry mouth.

Of course you should consult a doctor before taking my advice.
