Even imporved.
There's things in life people can deal with, a stage is a tough one for me. I love the music, but for some reaqson fear the crowd.
Much like some people fear the dak, mice, etc.
Not really a phobia, if it were I wouldn't have played semi-pro/pro back in my teens and 20's.
I got past the phobia, still have the fear.
But I manage it, I toss my cokies twice.
Once just before I go on stage, once as soon as I get behind my kit, and i'm good for the rest of the night.
All the guy's I've played with have tried different "cures"
Half a drink, half a joint, compleatly wrecked.
Don't matter if I'm loaded or stright, I hurl, I play great!

And that's all that matters!
