ok then.

Is it rude not to sing when asked, and when it's known you've a fair voice?

I ask this because sometimes I just want to leave my ego at home and absorb and learn from others.

But if I sing, then Ego rushes out to help with the performance and take the applause and overwrite most if not all that's been learned.

So how does one say NO without giving offence?
