Re: played my first gig with the Jr.

you're right man...like i said, i've always been my worst critic and i'm not going to let my fears of "screwing up royally" stop me from honestly getting better, cuz that's what it was doing!

If you screw up? So what? If you make an azz out of yourself? So what?

I go through this with my fiancee. She plays a little guitar and a little bass. She's got a band together with some friends. They went from not knowing how to play to playing at one of the girl's wedding. She won't play in front of me if she can help it. She says that she doesn't want to embarass herself. It's actually really frustrating to hear her talk like that.

It's healthy to have some stage fright or even self doubt. Too much will destroy you.

Hoss, that's so cool!

BTW "late in life" - I started playing in 2001 and am 47 now. You do the math...
