One solitary drop of Binaca under the tongue will usually create an oral flash flood. Keep a hankie handy to wipe your eyes so's you can see the music. Also mental images of steak, crab legs, etc. instead of the mental image of making a fool of yourself will usually help. Seriously. When I get performance-related dry-mouth, I promise to reward myself with something really tasty if I play well. I find that by taking my mind off of the anxious thoughts and putting it on something that makes my mouth water, the dry-mouth disappears.
FWIW: I still weigh the same 185 lbs. I weighed in high school.
