It’s weird how enjoying yourself makes the butterflies chill out. When I was in a jazz band (cornet), we rehearsed so often that playing the songs became like breathing.

By the time we got onstage, it was like home. No nerves at all, just doing our thing, you know?

What type of group do you sing with?

OK, that’s funny. Nice flashback!

I sang downtown with a group today (a rare event), but instead of butterflies, I felt relaxed and loose. Always good to be prepared, but also good to have the confidence to know that you can “go with it” and everything will turn out alright.

And man, it sure was nice weather in Portland, OR today!
