I think you are setting a wonderful example for everyone - because we never need to stop, just keep on going like an Energizer bunny, regardless of age. I also have performance anxiety but I recently began teaching and have found the fear lessons with time and experience. I hope the same for you.CountryDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243893531509380824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-72930969205719565932013-08-19T08:10:51.899-05:002013-08-19T08:10:51.899-05:00You do have a gift that is meant to be shared.

Who knows what effect one of your songs might just have on someone. I do know where you are coming from though..there are days on end here when I don't talk to anyone, but my self and conversation isn't easy for me either. I have always enjoyed reading about your chicks, cows and gardens and you songs too.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-91105362216660107532013-08-19T07:53:16.911-05:002013-08-19T07:53:16.911-05:00Yes Mrs. L, and bring snacks.

However, I'm really the same way. I am more social on FB than in real life. I do have to wear a professional hat at work and seem to pull it off ok. But if I had to perform - no way! lol Back Porch Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12367039860951504616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-84266938002866414862013-08-18T20:55:48.333-05:002013-08-18T20:55:48.333-05:00Wish you could play and sing at our little country...Wish you could play and sing at our little country historical church.

The older I get, the less I feel like communicating - - to the point where I have become hermitized and misanthropic.<br />That's why I write (in my blog) so often about my long-ago Hollywood years. I was a completely different person then.<br /><br />As for performing. I've always been terrified of playing (piano) in front of an audience. I eventually conquered my fears by playing ONLY for myself and pretending that the audience isn't there.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-55436272356695521712013-08-18T20:30:11.919-05:002013-08-18T20:30:11.919-05:00I would hate that also, and I AM a social person, ...I would hate that also, and I AM a social person, although much less so than I used to be. Now I need space and less conversation because I get stressed when there is too much pressure to chat. I do what I can do, but like to leave whenever I feel like it.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.com
