Everybody deals with nerves differently and you have to find your own way of dealing with them unfortunately as the mileage will vary from individual to individual. Beta blockers can help in extreme cases, just stay away from controlled substances. Some players get nervous as hell. Did you know Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand would get physically ill before curtain time? Streisand was so nervous, she had to have the lyrics of her songs on big prompter screens all over the concert hall, even though she knew the tunes. I've seen Doc Severinsen nervous as hell. To the point of shaking, this was at a concert back in the '80's. He was warming up and shaking but come showtime he was fine. A buddy of mine saw Doc down in Miami back in the '80's and said Doc was pacing back n forth saying to himself "I am the best, I cannot miss!" over and over and over while pacing. Maynard would get a little nerves going and would meditate for about 5 minutes before each show. Then there were guys like Bill Chase who would just walk out on-stage calm as a cucumber and BAM! Just kill it!
I feel that a lot! I dealt with similar issues.
Thanks for sharing!
