Yep, never done a workshop before, and I knew it was stretching it when Rita asked me to do it. But, what it was, was who I am and what I do.

Since I was asked to do the workshop, I figured it was meant to be my take on blues. Blues to me is more of an emotional outburst like laughing or crying, rather than a technique, and I not only tried to convey that, but wanted everyone to convey that, because blues is a personal thing.

I knew enough that I was not to just perform in my workshop, and thought it appropriate that I only played 3 songs. I asked if I was missing anyone who wanted to play, and no one spoke up.

Well, lesson learned. Should I ever have the opportunity to do it again, I will learn for this, my first attempt. I am sorry that you had discomfort and annoyance, twas not my intent. Was it different? Yes. Am I different? Yes. For that, I am not sorry.
