My hat's off to you, David!

My husband and I also have played 'out' to help in overcoming stage fright. It helps.

Wow! Good for you for playing great and not succumbing to stage fright. That is a BIG deal!!! You played great!

I have stage fright sometimes as well. You did a great job!

Great job David!

Hey David, well done !!! You have done something I never will, congratulations !

Very proud of you David!

Surprisingly I did think (sort of)to smile. That is one comment that is always made from time to time in our group: when people play on stage they are so focused they forget to smile.

David, you did GREAT. With all that pressure in front of judges, on a stage...I would have made mistakes for sure!

Not only did you not make any mistakes, but you smiled too!

David, that's great! I think that's a winner . Thanks for sharing.

Friday night I entered the Mountain Dulcimer competition at the 2012 Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention http://www.tvotfc.com[/url . It was my first time entering a competition. I did not enter to win so much as to overcome my extreme stage fright. Generally I avoid all public speaking (or non-speaking) type activities. Here I am playing Ode To Joy
