[Harp-L] Am I Alone???

["Michael D'Aurizio" <mdaurizio@xxxxxxxx>]

I practice at home, or in my truck at work. I come up with a lot of great licks. They are innovative (for me), musically advanced (for me), and I really get excited about layin down these great new riffs at the next gig. The next gig comes, and all I do is play the same old tired licks over and over again. I can't seem to get creative enough on stage to trust my skills, and let the " new and improved" chops flow. Once in a GREAT while the planets will be aligned just right, and the magic will happen, and the riffs will just flow from my instrument. I will leave that gig thinkin " Yeah baby, I'm on to the next level!!" Then the next gig same old sh#*!!! Am I alone with this??? Will I ever be able to catch "That Magic" more than once in a while?? I sure hope so!
