When I got off the road (doing the big venues) and did a little songwriter in-the-round, I could see those people way too well and it was a bit disconcerting for me! It’s what you do regularly that triggers the “it’s safe in here” response of the adrenals. The irregular scenerios are the ones that get the butterflies moving!

I would have never been ready to do the band “thang” in Germany if I hadn’t had a lot of practice doing musical theater and opera when I was younger.

After a while, the lights became my friend, so to speak.

Then there are those times when there is a power failure and lights, mics, amps and P.A.’s all go out and you have to wing it…great memories!

It takes time to adjust to the difference in light. Cords can trip us up, we can run over people, we can fall in holes… oh the danger in our profession can be for real :< !

If your gonna wear glasses, a blue or green tint knocks out the glare, pink, yellows and darks magnify the glare.

Also, when you sing with your eyes closed , watch your step i saw a couple of big Nashville cats fall off the stage…oopps
