Neil,

Thank you for answering.

Of course many musicians "take something" for their nerves before performing, be it
alcohol, drugs or whatever. This is a pity but I'm not talking about that problem.

What you said sounded more like hippies taking LSD as a mind-expanding experience.
It's a one way street into a neighborhood you don't want to be in. This being a
public forum, I'm glad you clarified that you never meant to suggest for someone to
pop a pill for a better performance.

David
