Words!!!

GRRR!!! No matter how hard I try I cannot remember all of the words to any song that I try to sing! Nic, I blame you! The "word forgetting" gene began with you. I believe that every single time I have performed a song, I forgot some of the words. It doesn't matter how many times I practice it perfectly, I always, always, without fail, blow it. It's always a different spot, too. Tonight I was supposed to play at the Sterling Scholar Award...Jobby (thank you Ryan), and I decided to play The Devil Went Down to Georgia since it was entertaining and I already had it ready. My brother-in-law, Ryan, made me an amazing accompaniment CD on which he played everything, including the organ (nice little surprise). I practiced it a million times in the two days before (before that I was practicing Allegro Brilliant for a scholarship audition). I could do it perfectly. Then tonight I went to Snow Canyon High School and sat down. My nerves immediately began to make my hands shaky and cold (not good for playing). I was kind of shocked. I never get nervous! I think it was because I was playing for my peers. I hate playing for people my age. I greatly prefer adults. They're nicer. Anyway, so I was getting really nervous. I started praying like mad, and by the time I got up there I was fine. I was relaxed and ready to play with the audience. The music started, I started, everything was going great. Then after Johnny (me) played his solo I looked at the audience and completely lost my train of thought. I tried to remember, but by then it was too late. My cue had passed. So I just looked at the audience and said "Well, the Devil loses," and finished the song. It was fine, but I was so mad at myself! Why can't I ever play perfectly!? It's like there's a mental block or something! FRUSTRATION!!!
