What Susan said (7:25) nudged my memory. I did find it necessary once to talk privately to a person who was doing that. The message I tried to get across to her was that she might want to consider forming a group that wanted to sing and talk primarily about her interests, that this group, for better or worse, was eclectic and was more interested in a wide range of subjects. She didn't come back, but we're still 'friendly acquaintances'.

This kind of thing gets around. I have a pet no-no and I no longer have to say anything about it- the group lets any newcomer know that Eb doesn't want any early Beatles songs. I'm aware that some of the regulars have snuck a later song through on occasion but that's fine. As long as I like the song well enough, I can handle a bit of it. Just don't give me any she loves me yeah yeah yeah stuff. (Or is that 'you'? Don't bother answering...:)
