The only time I ever froze was during my first piano recital when I was in the 5th Grade.

In the audience and performing just before me was the girl I had a crush on at the time. She also happened to sit at the desk right behind me in school.

"Judy" got up and played her two tunes to perfection. I got up and totally butchered mine. Worst of all, I could hear her laughing as I screwed up. I never got to first base with "Judy".

But I later got into public speaking training/contests with the Optimist International Club and did a LOT of presentations during my working career. That transferred over to my guitar playing and singing and I've never had a problem performing in front of crowds since.
