Subject: RE: guest nights and singaround clubs
I do have to agree re cribbing off Lap tops and even worse recently a woman using her mobile phone! Might sound hypocritical given my views on cribbing. But I'm not actually saying crib sheets are a Good thing. But they can be left on a music stand or on a discreet stool, and having started that way myself I regularly advise others to spend more time practising at home and wean themselves off the crib sheets. But Lap Tops and mobiles I suggeet is a step way too far.
I well remember my first time in front of a live audience, and the sheer terror of it! And I died more than once on some very good stages. But I try to remember more that first time, when I got it right ish, and instead of that awful sympathy Clap, there was real warm applause, I still think perfprming is a form of madness, but it's for those satisfying moments we do it ;)
