    One thing I will tell you is that the nerves / nervousness will eventually go away and turn into more of an adrenaline rush as you get ready to perform.

    Just returned from a Christmas Party Gig

    Thank you fellas for all of the compliments. Danny, I probably gave out 25 business cards last night so you would hope that out of them, I will get a return call on one or two. David, you are right, and that was sort of my little secret of how I get booked more than the other guys in our IBM...
