But I digress...

It's exactly like getting the yips in golf. What should be an easy putt sees the ball land 20 yards away in knee-high grass.

Or us motorcyclists that lose concentration for just a moment and narrowly miss a seriously bad moment.

Hell, I saw/heard David Gilmour screw up when singing Comfortably Numb. I kid thee not.

So as the young 'uns say, "It's all good."

Trust the process, my friend. Trust the process.

Thanks OHR, I get frustrated with myself at times. I've been studying music since High School, majored in it as an undergrad (inspired by my three Canadian friends) and have played non-stop in churches every week for 31 years, played semi-professionally with a local rock band for seven years, recorded a number of demos as a session player and still practice for the big gig that hasn't come around yet. I've got some good chops on guitar, piano, bass (my main gig usually) and drums. I HATE it when I don't play up to speed, especially in front of two pro drummers who I respect and look up to. I won't give up though. It's in my blood. I have to play music.
