Earl:

Gary always tells it like it is. The good news... you recognize your recordings "are not up to snuff!" This means it may be the recording technique... or possibly, you need to work on your singing and/or playing. If you are concerned about the reaction of others, instead of sharing it with the entire board... send selected members a PM and see if they will share an E-mail address so you can send them an MP3 file. If I'm speaking greek... don't be shy... converting a WAV file (usually the product of a recording device) it is fairly easy to find free software to automatically convert it to MP3... (about 90% smaller and easier to transmit) so constructive criticism can be shared.

All of us have our doubts. Some more than others. Practice, practice, practice.

All the best, ----Dave
