In the thread about comic songs, two people mentioned migrations to the bar/kitchen whenever particularly boring participants launched into particularly boring renditions of songs. I'm happy to say that doesn't happen in the main group I sing with right now. I used to attend a group where that happened a LOT. Now, while I despaired over the people who would clap, congradulate, and encourage utterly boring, lazy, self-centered performers, I didn't like the people who ran off either. Any comments about dealing with that sort of thing?
