ears were deceiving me when I listened to the tape, the taping equipment
was faulty, or the audience received something from my performance that

karen,
it may also be that you have different tastes in you than your audience.
i think the thing that horrifies people hearing themselves for the first
time, is not that the sound is really so awful but, that it is so different
from what they thought they were doing and they feel as if they have been
misrepresenting themselves. some are so astonished by the difference, they
feel foolish. it is not unusual for the general public to have different
tastes from an individual artist. therefore, it is not unusual for an
audience to love what an artist hates.
