There's your problem - you weren't meant to be enjoying it!

I realise this now, Pip; 35 years of actually enjoying all levels of variously motivated ability in folk clubs has ill-prepared for the sudden hike-up in standards which people are now calling for. Has anyone suggested auditioning yet? The way things are going they'll be auditioning for the audition.

Anyway, it's 9.55am and I still haven't recovered the will to pick up an instrument and practise something for tonight's sing at The Steamer.
