Get real! It would be absurd to link drugs with musicians. Surely there
would be some rumors by now.
In a more serious vein, athletes should learn from musicians. If you
can get the audience to take the illegal drugs, a much lower level of
performance is quite acceptable.

Subject: [Hornlist] Performance anxiety
Has anyone paid any attention to the last Tour de France and the drug
scandals prior to during and after? Do we want the same scrutiny and
humiliation (druf testing etc.)? I don't. Yet someone suggested using a
beta blocker to control perfomance anxiety. The drug suggested for
experimentation isn't licensed for helping folks with panic attacks.
Sooner or later some governing body will discover a "problem" and
draconian scrutiny and onerous drug tests will fall on us like the
sports community now endures. These irresponsible suggestions for drug
use should be reputiated by all responsible muscians. I don't want to
have to depend on a drug dependent colleage that can't control his/her
nerves. And let's keep the 'big brother" out of our concerts.
