I've spoken to at least a half dozen folks that attended the Texas Steel Guitar Assn., Jamboree, and learned that they too, had come down with a monsterous head cold that has been difficult to shake.
How about you and/or your friends? |

I often get a head cold when I travel. My wife has too. I think it's from the airplane, not the hotel. They don't clean the AC and ductwork in the airplanes often enough.
Of course, unless you drove from Oregon to Texas.......

| I didn't hear anything from any of my friends that attended; one from Seattle & one from Portland. Nothing caused me any problem either; I flew home on Monday, 14th. I even played a FULL rugby game the following Sunday (20th) with NO ill effects from that either. |

I came down with a bad cold. On the flight back I started sneezing and wheezing. I'm sure I infected my seat mates, because my wife caught the cold from me three days after I came home.

| Got it the day before we left for home and still trying to get rid of it. But hearing Paul Franklin's set made it worthwhile. |

| Maybe you guys didn't take enough "cough medicine" while you were there. |

That kind of cough medicine is best taken by the half-pint or pint, just before you go to sleep at night.
BTW, that's an old military remedy. You could almost always talk the drill sergeant into letting you go down to the PX just before they closed by telling him "I need to go down to the PX and get a bottle of cough medicine." Sometimes he would tell you to get one for him, too.

The week before the show there was a very resilient virus spreading all over Dallas..there were 15 people out that entire week from our office alone..When I fly the airlines, i ALWAYS wear a surgical mask..They are available at all pharmacies, and are an inexpensive,and effective deterrent to the spread...

| Actually the risk of communicable disease in aircraft has been studied extensively and, believe it or not, the aircraft ventilation is designed such that fresh air is normally what you get in a commerical airplane and its one of the safer places in terms of respiratory infectious disease exposure. |
