    I've been performing for about 12 years now so stage fright isn't usually 
an issue for me anymore.  I do still get nervous but it's not really all the 
people watching that makes me nervous but rather the thought of screwing it 
up.  Stage firght was a proublem when I was starting out, but I can't really 
tell you any tricks I used to overcome it.  I would just tough it out and 
push on through.  
    I don't suppose that's much help.
