Go on…..have some fun!!!!

Getting to the point of performing where you don’t want to throw up just before you get on stage comes easier to some than others. I myself have always kind of enjoyed the limelight, but when push comes to shove have always feared the worst would happen to me on stage. But….something changed in me last Saturday. I was playing at a local Farmer’s Market and found myself focusing on all the sounds/people/activites around me more than on my music. I was on fire - interacting with the crowd, feeding off of people’s comments, dancing and singing along. It was honestly one of the most fun days of my life! I made a couple of mistakes sure, but it didn’t matter - I was relating to the crowd and having fun! So to all you performers out there with a crazy amount of fear of performing….just keep doing it! Your day will come when you are watching somebody else up there and you’ll think to yourself - I wish that were me up there and really mean it! You’ll be wringing your hands together in anticipation of showing the world all you got, instead of sitting in fear wondering why you ever agreed to do this show in the first place. Go on - allow yourself to have fun. In doing so you allow the audience to have fun too - and after all couldn’t we all use a little more fun in our lives?!
