The old problem

"Are they learning"

Well I am not a musician and am not learning.

I am listening.

Maybe I could learn to listen better, that way I must be learning

Am I learning to say no when somebody asks me if i want to sing. Of course I don't bloody want to sing. My voice is crap and I would not let other people suffer just becuase of my own ego.
If I want to learn to sing, I will go and get lessons. If and when I am good enough, I might then, having practiced my 2 songs, go and plant my arse on the chair in a folk club, where they are good at listening to crap. :-)
