Thanks Greg F, yes, it might be our age but some values regarding politeness should be timeless.
However, after pushing our failing memories to learn and remember a song, having worked at it and rehearsed it we then sang it out in our local session. A while later we went to the session and, before we could get our mouths open, a young singer sang the song we'd so carefully researched and rehearsed. It seems that the individual had not been texteing during our song's debut performance but had been recording!
Now I have an opinion on this kind of behaviour…in my day you listened carefully to the singer and, over quite a long period the song would insert itself into your brain, oddly, in a highly individual version. But now?…I guess it's no longer my day…?
