When the band I was in decades ago had our first large audience, our singer looked at all the people in the room and froze like a “deer in the headlights”. We were going to do Proud Mary. I am a base and sound like a toad-frog in a well. Even though I never sang in the band, I sang the base part of the song which is the only words I actually knew -- “rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river”. When I was finished the singer had come out of the stage-fright. I think that me actually doing something other that sitting on my stool playing my instrument was more shocking than the audience.
