You never know how important this is until you can’t get it. Our tour bus driver says it’s banned in Australia. I guess there’s something in throat coat tea that’s legal in USA but not in Australia. But the Aussie singers consistently ask for it (so he says). I’m on tour right now and for whatever reason it was left off the rider for a couple shows in a row. Then the next day in Detroit we were staying at MGM resorts and casino and everyone was walking around with a TEA KETTLE prize that they all received for being special MGM resort members. THE UNIVERSE WAS TAUNTING ME!!! All I could see were people walking around with brand new tea kettles. What a turn of events. Anyways, get throat coat tea and keep the voice smooth.
