Sausage

Please don't judge any past or future event's potential on the basis of the contents of this thread. There are close long time friends in here and they are free to say what they like to each other.

I am very new to this group and I have to say they make the best music sessions I have experienced. Not saying the talent is not as quality in Essex (where I live). There is amazing talent in Essex. Just that this group adds a little something more to sessions by virtue of being so well known to each other and they are a very warm and welcoming bunch.

I advise you give Crayford a go. By your own statement
Don't go to something, expecting ANYTHING

peace out

What started as a thread about a Beer Fest in that beautiful Kent village of Upnor (morphed from a Cornish fishing village) degenerated into an Astological comparison and then a personal slanging match which would have been better confined to e-mails.

Seems to me, expectation is where it's at
Don't go to something, expecting ANYTHING

I was vaguely interested in the Crayford thing. Now I'm not so sure. I assumed it would be like a festival session - you turn up and the music/singing happens - no hidden agendas, egos and arsi-ness....

Maybe Crayford's not for me after all (or mudcat !)

Hope you have fun xxx

She came to Knockholt Thursday stayed in my tent
She then had to hurry off Friday morn from Knockholt in pouring rain because she was working in Chislehurst caves on the Friday. She went back to Ramgate that Friday night, which is where she lives the next day Sat she flew home to Poland.(made her Arms Ache) it was there in her Motherland and home city of Krackoff that she delved into her rucksack and found my bag containing my Knockholt Supply of pants. which she had picked up by accident because women will rush everything.

Quite right - too long in the tooth to change - me is me!!! I'm happy with most people, I'll treat you like I'd like to be treated myself. Can't say fairer than that can you!!??

I had a bag with a divider down the middle clean pants in one half dirty the other.

Im a Capricorn( Sea goat) so Im very tidy.loyal but I also like me own company and tend to wander alot.I tend to butt heads with any other horny headed bithsign and steer clear of virgo.s like the pox. I run from Leos. all others ok.

My polish friend is Cancer so when she comes out pub she always walks sideways and tends has with my pant bag to just grab at anyhing and go off with it. Regarding new pants. well I had to buy the guitar and then get the pants next day.

Woot! Pete did it again. Turned "mad" situation into happy. So did you get the new pants?

My big bro and baby sister are virgos and don't feel guilty bout nothin, ever. And quite often they really should.

As an Aries I should'nt feel shy. How do you s'plain my stage fright? Stars don't mean nothin. Cold and aloof have nothin to do with us critters here on earth.

Now the moon? That's a celestial object of a different colour. Don't want to be around me at the full of it.

Last Knockholt My pants I got Mad in, which earlier were the same pants I was happy in were the same pants my Polish girl-friend took back to Poland with her by accident when she left hurriedly the next morning.leaving me one pair of clean pants to get mad in again. Anyway

They ended up in Krakov before she discovereed them at the bottom of her ruck sack.
She packed in hastetaking my clean pants and dirty pants with her and I ended up wearing the same pair of pants for the next three days,
Of coarse it was my fault.

She refused to wash em and bring em back so I had to buy new pants in Eltham which I did the Monday after I got back from Knockholt. Has I was going to M&S to buy them I was fortunate enough to find a Lorenzo Classical Guitar in the Greenwich and Bexley Hospice shop window which I brought for £2O IN MINT CONDITION.

I can vouch for the fact that all virgos, regardless of gender, suffer huge guilt if something is not spot on. We are big on self-blame.

Be that as it may, Ken, I generally find your company welcome (careful, that could be two compliments I've handed out this decade) but get vexed when told folk music is a dirge, and have half a verse, in one of the few song's I've written, about the theft of minor highways from the people. Pecker up, tablets in (or the other way round if your good lady prefers).

Damn Dilli, we could break open a can of whup ass, but as you said why should we feel responsible for someone else's happiness? I blame the mothers and mothers mothers, etc. I hope it ain't hormonally based. Else there is no hope for our daughters and grandaughters, ad infinitum. Nope. I think it is imprinted behaviour. They learn by watching.

Who said "they can just get happy in the same pants they got mad in?" I hope it was a woman.

I,m with you VT having been in relationships when I seemed to be responsible for everybodies happiness and if they werent happy then I,d failed thought I,d got over it but still am left with the guilt. if everyone isn,t happy then I worry its me thats got it wrong. Think guilt comes with giving birth which is why men do not suffer.Praps we should just threaten to bang heads together or make people sit on the naughty step till they play with their toys nicely.{my 3 year old grandaughter Tia misbehaves then sits on the naughty step without being told giggling to herself}
Hey could be a whole new thread to this is it only females that feel guilty? cause everybodies not happy,Love and BIG hugs xx

To be honest I throughly enjoyed the day despite the weather. I met folk I have not met before. An I get to spend time with and chat with folk I only see twice a year at Knockholt.I enjoy these little outings and I am really looking forward to Sunday at Crayford.

Folk clubs and gathering are touchy places so manners and good conduct and a hearty round of applause is vital. Do you know I got accused of breaking wind at the Tudor Barn the other night why a well known club member was playing. whereby it was my chair that made the offending sound you should have seen the fuss that made with some folk. And has I pleaded my innocents it only made the situation worse.

I should also say, I felt pretty pouty in the car on the way home Sunday afternoon. Didn't get my money's worth and I wasted my time kind of thing. Then I had a rethink. Saturday afternoon was miles better than staying home and doing ironing. Sunday morning was spent walking above the beach at Grain in the sparkling sunshine. Inspite of the industry, it was lovely.

Anyway what I am really trying to say is that people feel and express disappointment in different ways. Disappointment that weather was bad and the venue did not expect to and could not accommodate the live music, especially in the evening or next day. Disappointment that some people didn't sing or that music was not what was hoped for. Disappointment that some parties didn't show and some left early.

We all know that we are allowed to be disappointed. It is the expression of it that is the problem and really shouldn't be. As I said people express differently. Why can't it just be left at that?

Sorry. Even after escaping a couple of decades of dysfunctional relationship, I still think I should try to fix things. This mess is not my business I know, but wanted to say more after post above. Upon reading agian I thought might look like I was taking a side. I am not.   Well I am. The side of peace, tolerance and forgiveness.

I made it on Sunday too. I had paid for the B&B the night before, petrol, and meals, waited around as the sun had come out,etc. So if any has a right to moan I think I do. However, I understand and will not complain about things that cannot be controlled, like weather and other parties obligations, etc. I took me chances and I am still happy with even the little bit I got.

I walked into a club one night ages ago. I had not even taken my guitar off me back let alone had a swallow of beer and I was asked if I wanted to start the night off. I said :Well let me get in the bloody door for God Sakes.

Another thing, I always has a discipline tune up my guitar before I play it. There,s nothing worse for me then trying to sing tuneful, with a guitar that sounds worse then I do. The amount of folk who get up on stage and start fiddling about with machaine heads twinging and twanging through a open mike.

I was at Blackheath the other week there were four blokes on stage they were only up for two numbers? They had stood about all night waiting for there slot and then when its time to go up they decide to tune there guitars. on stage infront of all and sundry.sounding like Alley cats Sh---ing in a alley. Its awlful.


Right so I like to get in have a beer tune my guitar and relax for a while.

I played at Blackheath the other week and having taken time to do all the things mentioned above I still went on stage nervous. so I shut me eyes and away I went suddenly I started to get (SERVIOUS DANCE trapped nerve. I think thats the way one spells it) in both legs below the knee. By the time I had finished i was more or less doing the Can Can.. But afterward folk said to me nice song one said I liked the fancy foot work. Silly A..e

Finally Hasling people and bringing them to the attenion of others does not help a nervous person like meself play.
