Here's my advice: go ahead and feel scared...but do it anyway.

Some of the most talented and respected performers in the world feel The Fear every time they step in front of people to play--they just endure the feeling.

How you feel and what you do are miles apart from each other. We can't control when adrenaline rushes through our bloodstreams, but we can still do whatever we decide to do anyway.

Sometimes that scary feeling is the GOOD part--a bit thrilling if you decide to look at it that way.

So again, to me the problem is not the fear, but whether you are willing to endure it.

Good luck! You're certainly in good company.
