[quote=Etcetera] So five minutes before we go into the grand hall. My allergies randomly start to utterly destroy me. I'm basically wiping my nose every couple seconds. Through the performance, I'm still dying, until we get to a song where I have an improv solo (I make up the notes and rhythms as I go along), and I'm sitting there going "Okay, no way I can do this. God, I'm just handing it to you; this is totally for your glory and not my own, so take the slide, and have at it, because I have no chance of doing this alone." And I kid you not, three measures before my entrance, all my allergies instantly clear up, and it turns into one of the best improvs I've ever done. [/quote] Did they come back after?
