We've all been where you have been. Whether it's having a brain fart and blanking on some tune you've played a million times or getting up with a band that's tuned a half step down and forgets to tell you and gives you the original key. wasted band members getting in arguments onstage. Drunk women hanging on you, while their jealous boyfriends ,who look like they were thrown out of a bike gang for excessive cruelty, glare at you. The biggest thing is to keep going. I  always  tell newbie musicians that, Most of the audience is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm.
