Shant be bothering in future. Stupid me got the idea that as a beginner I would be made welcome and benefit from the experience of listening and playing to live music in a social setting combined with my usual tution night. How mistaken I have been. Dont get me wrong music lessons are great - but you pompas gits that play at the pub near where I live ought to get your musical instrument out of your backsides and maybe that way you may find a smile comes more natural. I wasnt after your tuition - I pay for that and wouldnt want to be tought by a pretentious oaf anyway. Oh and a public house is what it says - so regardless of whether youre playing your banjo or your bones - youre not that special - life goes on and people talk - its called socialising.
