     Yeah I'm not looking forward to it.  I've found that my level of 
nervousness is directly proportional to how long it's been since I "played 
out".  When I started sitting in with a blues band in Korea, I'd not played out 
in over 10 years.  I was so nervous my hands went numb.  Needless to ay, it 
wasn't my finest hour...  Even laying off for a few weeks means I'll be 
contending with a bout of stage fright for the first few songs.

 PL> hope it works out, I'd really love to start playing out again!!

 MR>    Best of luck.  Let us know how it turns out.

     We've not gotten together yet but it's looking promising.  We did the 
initial "feeling out" over the phone and his background/direction and outlook 
are uncannily close to my own.  At this point I'm thinking the biggest problem 
may be our styles will be too similar to make it interesting.  Looking forward 
to finding out though.
