Sorry - gotta vent my spleen here.

Recently I encountered The Oaf - an Oaf both personally & musically. Probably THE most annoying session-attender in the world.

Sang LONG songs very monotonously, wanted (& sometimes succeeded) to do 2 in a row where everyone else was doing only one, criticised another musician for not playing the song as per CD (!!!!), joined in out of tune on tin whistle with other people's songs, joined in out of tune with himself too, started a political argument, talked VERY loudly over other people's songs, percussed AND handed out implements of percussion, knowingly repeated a song someone had done earlier in the evening - how do such people surive?

I can only assume he is new to the scene & a little over-enthusiastic & under-ettiquetted. Anyway - I'd not shoot the bugger, because he'd only enjoy the attention.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ah - feel better now .

cheers
