OK, I'm trying it again.

This is me singing "Some Beach" at my hometown's 4th of July celebration. I thought that I had the stage fright thing pretty well licked by that time but it really kicked in. Must have been something about singing in front of the whole town full of people that I had grown up with. My knees were shaking so bad that I swore that everybody could see them shake. I noticed that everyone else had brought music with them to read while they performed. Should I bring music with me if I ever do it again?

Hey Randy, its not too bad man. It sounds like a legit performance messed up by anxiety.

Ok guys, i found the first recording i have ever made. It was maybe two or three monthes after i first started singing :

Nothing really too annoying for the ear, but its pretty clear that my voice was totally unnsupported. I had a tendency to back off which first avoided me to crush the ears of the audience as a beginner, but which later on provoked a host of issues.
