Probably the best compliment I ever recieved, was the day a musician asked me who the composer of a song I had just sung for her was, and when told it was "mine" - her reply was "You're shitting me!" - in complete and utter surprise. (Luckily I took it the way she meant it, as she had assumed the composer was a "pro")(but boy was her face red until she explained!)(and I made her explain. Sometimes I am just ornery)
