Jeez, that's what happens when you get busy for a few days. I dropped in here to share a bit about growing up in the small town of Baie D'Urfey Quebec (a very ancient part of the "new world") and to ruminate (probably pointlessly) on what a kick it was to become aware of my town's tenuous connection to ballad history,....and I discover...major conflict.
I can handle a couple of small skirmishes, 'cause that's what brings spice to the "cat", but another long, "oh so sincere", "there's something terribly wrong here, and it's been going on for the LAST YEAR!" Jeezus, talk about pouring gasoline on a lit match! If you REALLY want to go through this again, start a new thread, name the people you want out of here, and take the heat (like Art did)
Fooey, I'm going back to the "ragtime guitar", "finding other musicians to play with", and "performance anxiety"(about stage fright) threads.
