“When I started out, I was absolutely awful, I had no voice, I didn’t have a lot of stage presence and most of the [interpretive] intensity that I brought to the experience was actually terror.”—Jimmy Webb (Jimmywebb.com)

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. I have tried memorizing it, but just don't sing it enough to memorize. Go to his page and then click on his biography. It is long. Read the quote above. Now read it again. What happens to Jimmy when he gets on the stage? Anybody? Anybody?

What that means is that Jimmy has a HUGE problem with "stage fright," and he still has it today. A few years ago, I was watching the Today Show, when Jimmy was on. He had a new song he wanted to sing and introduce on the Today Show, to the world. Well, ... half way through, he stopped and said, "I can't remember the words."

He was devastated. Glen Cambell has sung a lot of his songs and has made him a millionaire, but Jimmy simple can't get up in front of a group and perform. Do you have stage frieght? I used to have it, and it was no fun.

You will find that Jimmy has over 120 songs he has produced. I plead with you to go visit his webpage and leave a message. What are some of his songs?

I am a Lineman for the COUNTY.
The cake song.
Galveston.
(See if you can find out some of the other songs titles that he has written.) He is an excellent piano player. I'll bet that what frieghtens him, is that he knows he isn't a professional musician. A professional would be one that graduated from Oklahoma City University, or like our daughter, Holli, who graduated from Cameron University with a degree in Piano Performance.
