Thanks Axe!!! Funny, I started out playing in church too. I have stage fright too, but I've managed to deal with it. I think everybody has it to one degree or another. With the church gig, it became routine after a while. I'm hoping I won't be as nervous this time around as the last at the open mic. This time, we'll be doing 4 songs, so I'll be up there long enough to get comfortable and settle in. With one song, it felt like it was done as soon as it started.

Anders told me in another thread that stage fright (being nervous) is part of the experience - it's part of the excitement of playing.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!! I've put in the work, now I just gotta let it happen.
