Funny I should read this today. Last night when I got to church my director handed me an anthem that has a small solo "blurb" in it. It is very easy and I have heard it before, however I had never sung it. I sing in this church A LOT. Everyone in the congregation has heard me sing, most of them are my friends. I was fine in the rehearsal before we processed. I barely got through the solo. Why? I was unaware that I was going to sing and therefore did not take my customary INDERAL!!!! I am sick of having this crutch. I never had this crutch until I was in my mid-thirties and my physician father decided to help me out before a solo performance I was whining about. The darn things work great for me-no pounding heart, no short of breath feeling...........But at this stage in my life I should be able to stand up and sing a little dinky solo blurb without taking a drug! I am really ticked at myself, have jury and a recital coming up (at a community arts school, not college, I am 43........), Any suggestions for giving up a serious crutch?
