I'm a showman. I wish I could play like the musiciams that I admire, but despite LOTS of practice, I can't. However, if wishes were horses, beggers would ride, so I'll just do what I can, and enjoy.

Jimmyt, nice thread, and if you get the same audience, see if you can tease them into standing up, and then..."OK, you can't sing loudly sitting down, so lets get into a Shanty..."
It only works once, but it works well.
