I don't wanna start an argument either RichM... I'm just trying to understand the other side of the fence...

I've seen plenty of upright bass players who don't use bandaids....

That aside, I'm more wondering after the mentality of someone who has such bad stage fright... then why go on stage at all??? drugs or no... Seems to me like eating something yer allergic to... is it really worth it?

I guess that's a personal call eh...

like I said... just wondering...
