Well Breezy, "you've done your homework, you dont stereo type, you are a swift judge of character and personality" Yeah I guess your "piss off" to a newbie puts you in the same category, and as I said before, cos my swift judge of character tells me you need to repeat things to people like yourself twice, think about who MAY be reading your nonsense, and YES what a suprise you are totally wrong, as I have been involved in performing not just in the folk scene, but in other musical arenas, producing and arranging ,and running clubs AND large concerts for over 28 years. But of course, to someone who had to sing for over TWO HOURS to get the club established several times, I suppose that's nowt.
Oh yeah, they've playED your club, but untill they turn up again, nowts set in concrete.
I could make a terrible sugestion, and risk upsetting you, but here goes, TRY ENGAGING BRAIN BEFORE ENGAGING FINGERS, and be NICE to people, cos I wasn't always sure what a F#Dm 7th was either!
To the newbie, don't worry, there are MOSTLY nice people at a lot of the clubs ( like the one I'm involved in ) but some people have what's known as a "dry" sense of humour, which takes some getting used to !( nearly there myself after 30 years!!!!)
