A thousand and one apologies for the Epic Fail that was my performance on Sunday. I promise to be better prepared for a peppy song, should you ever risk inviting me up again.

I am ready. It's gonna be great. It's gonna feel good to perform again.

However, My nose is running/stopped up and I have a bunch of gunk in my throat, meaning it's gonna be a little hard for me as well.
Oh well. On with the show.

Ok, so I put this on you tube, and I request you to watch. I have a camera(not for videos) but it takes them alright, not the greatest sound quality but better than nothing!
