Hi all you wonderful, supportive folks who responded to my posting. Of course, I realize that others have struggled with this 'stage fright' phenomenon, but recieving such support for my struggle was food for the spirit. It will take me a while to absorb all the fine and helpful information you have so kindly passed on to me. But, in the meantime, thank you all.

By the way, Banjo Bonnie, at a recent festival I played, the sound tech had trouble remembering my name (Cindy) and so he gave me the handle 'Bonnie Banjo' for the entire weekend. I was dubbed the 'seagoddess' by someone who introduced my band years ago and it has stuck; glad you like it.
