This was the 1st song (also the 1st to open the mixed concert, the 1st time I'd ever done this, at this scale, solo) and, despite the swigs of water back-stage, the adrenalin, heart-a-flutter, and the tongue cleft to the palate - the tremelo cut in at first. It's a wonder I didn't just run off crying! :-)

>When (how long ago) did you first started singing publicly?

Well, s I just said above, this was my first "proper" time. I've sung karaoke before, and in our choir (where, last year, i had to do a solo spot but only quick snippets), and when I was at school I sang solo in a concert for (appreciative) pensioners. SO I never actually started singing publically.
