Hi Karen,

Congratulations on a job well done.

I have also gotten more comfortable performing as I get older. Not mature, mind you, but older! I was fearless as a child, but a total basket case as a teen, and that is not unusual. I see it in my students all of the time.

I was never fearless. Never.

I hope you have already scheduled a time with your professional friend to start working on the Bach Double. What a great opportunity!

I was never fearless and still am not fearless. I probably never will be. the nature of the fear changes as you mature, that's all.

Ah kids...they're so good at messing up our lives, but they're sooo worth it. :)

I like playing for my church too, but they're such a friendly audience that I almost don't think they're a "real" audience...sort of like playing for my family. I hope you do play the Bach Double, though!
