+1! There's a surgical procedure for that, Fran, but believe me, you don't wanna go through that. Keep standing as long as you can.

I stand every show, every night. Burns calories!

I don't understand the "peeking out of the coffee cup" icon. Is that an insult of some sort? What are you suggesting?😳

"I stand every show, every night. Burns calories!"

Not an insult at all Dave,
....it is just that I have seen you perform many many times sitting
and standing....so I was a bit confused at that statement..
nothing more.

My statement is true, at least for now. 7 nights a week, on my feet, mouth open. I sing better standing, and it looks better because of the lack of actual stages, in most of my cases.

Dave, standing burns no more calories than sitting. Learned that 50 years ago in my Anatomy and Physiology classes. You just get tired faster, IMO, and though you may sing better because you can move your diaphragm slightly more, you can achieve the same thing while sitting atop a stool like DonM and I did for years. Some folks think it makes them look more professional, but I disagree wholeheartedly with this assessment. When makes you look professional, on a stage, or at floor level is your overall appearance and your ability to connect with your audiences - nothing more nothing less.

Just my .02 cents worth,

Gary

ok Good luck in the trenches I like the "NEW" you !!

Because of the 'situation' last night - which I will get into deeper when I'm not on my phone - I stood for the 2 hour gig, no breaks ... I felt my calves at the end of the night ...

Then why not sit down?
