Dave, I don't mind public speaking either for the same reason. I know the audience is there, but as far as I'm concerned they might as well not be. <lol> Unfortunately the same goes for singing or any other kind of performing, so when I was in talent shows as a little kid I was singularly unanimated. What I would love would be being in a band which practices all the time but rarely, if ever, actually performs. <lol> Kellie
