Subject: RE: Music Etiquette Thought For The Day
If we want to start comparing bests...

Mine was a completely impromptu set at the Auburn County Faire in Northern California. I was part of a larger "old west" camp that was made up of several different acts... One morning, while one of the fiddlers was tuning her fiddle to a piano before opening, she struck up a Hungarian Gypsy reel (or something similar)... the rest of the musicians quickly wound up playing along... by the end, I think we had 3 fiddles, a mandolin, 2 guitars, a flute, a whistle, 2 bodrhans, and any number of people staring at us through the gates... THAT was half an hour of joy.

We now return you to your normal, undrifted thread.
