Many musicians judge themselves harshly. Absolutely, gnarara. I think that's true of the arts in general. Thanks for your comments, and sorry about your gig last weekend. Hope the next one rocks!

Thank you, Assamite01. I'm glad you're able to take some of the suggestions to heart. Good luck to you. ;)

Hey, Limey1! Thanks much for your comments. It's funny how a situation can change when you come to it from a place of giving.
