When I saw the title of this thread I thought maybe I had posted in my sleep...I am going to be singing, outside at night (chilly) into a mic for the first time ever to a crowd of about 100 people this Friday. I know the song cold, but am scared to death that using amplification is going to throw me well off. In recording myself on a tape deck, then trying to play with tape I find that my guitar is about a half-tone sharp...a big surprise to me the first time I heard that.

I keep telling myself that, after all, this is not about me, but about the ceremony, etc. etc....but oh, will I be glad when it's over. I have a feeling it's going to be a very humbling experience!
