Last Saturday, both Mr. Cook and I got to perform at a corporate event for Primesource in Hollywood, Florida (Where I used to live!) I was nervous before I went on stage because it was the first time Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d done a set that long since my vocal chord paralysis issues a few years ago. I was hardly able to do 1 song after that happened, and so I was even nervous with the tour when I did 4 songs heh, just because I wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t sure if my voice would be able to handle it. But I did 10 songs for the corporate event, and my voice was fine! It just made me feel really good to know how much my voice has improved since that whole weird thing. We had a lot of fun though, and Cook and his band were amazing as always. It was good to see him, because I havenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t seen him in a while. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be fun to see more of the old gang at the Disney thing coming up in a couple of weeks. I took some pictures of Cook and his band from backstage, but theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re really lameà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. soà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not putting them up haha.
