[HANASHIR:4001] Re: nervous singer

[Carol Boyd Leon <cbleon...>]

Carol, you're asking a lot of yourself, but eventually it'll happen.  I 
remember last year, when I'd had my guitar for maybe 6 weeks, and I was 
songleading at the High Holy Day family services.  I brought along the 
guitar as a "promise" to the congregation of how I planned to songlead in 
the future, but I only played a song or two at the services.  My fingers 
wouldn't cooperate and I was VERY nervous.  Now, a year later, I actually 
find it fun to songlead with the guitar.  I'm not great at it by any means, 
but the improvement over the year (stemming from about a zillion hours of 
practice!) gives me confidence to keep working at it.  If you're determined, 
you'll make it! -- Carol
