Sorry that you're still feeling poorly

I just got home from doing 4 hours of country/western. How are you  
going to do that at spah when there is no country/western band? How  
does one do  I really Don't Want to Know, Rocky-Top, Bobbie McGhee,  
On The Road Again, You Don't Have to Call Me Darlin, Darlin, Oh,  
Lonesome Me, Put Another Log on The Fire,  etc. with no back-up.
