Still a bit sick after two weeks of upper respiratory infection. Just about the only tunes I can sing are Leonard Cohen tunes. Even a regimen of antibiotics didn't fully break this nagging cough. Stupid body. This thing will be the death of me.

The guitar is a 1987 Guild JF-30 Jumbo. It belonged to a New Orleans street performer and was in a bad state of repair when I received it. After some major surgery, it's all better, unlike it's player. The nagging sickness is somehow appropriate for the tune.
