-- my strong love of music and fear of not doing justice to the songs that inspired me so
-- the unrealistic desire to live up to my own unrealistic expectations, and
-- the strongest of desires to please the audience, and the fear of not doing so

...just sharin' one person's neurotic fear of performance.


Joe V,

Anyone ever tell you "you think toooooo much"? just aim and fire man . . . pull the trigger man! You'll be glad when you do.
