A successful performance is directly dependent on the audience, their reactions, their support, even the lack of enthusiasm they show. Consciously or subconsciously, it affects performance. And then there's the extreme audiences many of us have had the misfortune to play before where the only thing between you and a beer bottle is a thin layer of chicken wire. In such venues, I doubt anyone is capable of a stellar performance.

To sing with love and to feel that the voice is only an instrument for giving and making somebody happy is a chance to relax and forget your vanity. When you forget this, you are able to open the door, that closes your real potential.
