alex: i can't say i've seen her do it to others; privately, she might express what she thinks of another's playing ability (that sort of thing) but; publicly, she will be quite supportive of their right to perform to the best of their abilities (be they as they may). i think of this as tact, not hypocrisy. she's a lovely person, though she did hurt me poor li'l feelings. *g*

perhaps she was providing guidance where she thought i needed it.

we've since separated somewhat, because she has become very busy in wider circles. she's very talented.

i must say, i've heard 'the scotsman' performed in front of a crowd of 20,000, and everyone loved it, but when i sang it for a college group i traveled with as an older student, the choir director coughed himself purple.

hm.
