the only musical thing I did with my friends before I started playing the fiddle was to sing around that campfire. It was usually only me singing but occasionally others joined.

when I took up the fiddle a few years ago most of my friends thought it was neat and they liked having my play at a party but then I got the feeling that it I was pushing it on them, since I like to play more than a few minutes. Now that I play in pubs and for dances very few of those friends come out for that. When I have a party at home I have a separate room for musicians to jam in and one for non-musicians.

It seems that I hang out more with my musician friends now anyway and those that dont play just dont get it, one of my friends was getting married and when I asked if he wants me to play at his wedding he said no its ok they will have a dj and cds.

well another friend is getting married in july and has asked me to play at his wedding which Id be quite happy to do.
