Okay, here's another perspective...

Performing when you are not prepared musically or emotionally is the wrong thing to do...

Take some time and work on your music... When you get back into your "groove" then try an open mic... If things go well then yer back in business... If not then keep workin' on your music... It's all about the standards you set form yourself from the music end...

I go thru this every year because I don't want to play indoors any more so winter is like time out...

Think of it as a rehab thing...

And as long as you feel good about you product, you'll be fine...

I promise...
