I really thank you for your sympathy, and for confirming that I'm not so intolerant, after all.
In fact, exposure was not much an issue for us, as Alice says, but FUNDING is really important. When I was told which was the amount to be collected, I said "for that money I will also dance naked at the Golden" (a ladies-only cabaret), and I still would do, but I'm sure that the owners of the Golden would have had the minimal human consideration as to provide us some chairs, or hangers for our clothes!.
Yes, Cookie, it is Spring here and the temperature in that room was really high and appropiate for what the Bible says about "sweating your fronthead", not to mention the proximity of 1 feet among persons.
Thanks Rick, Vixen, Fortunato and all. I'll keep singing, of course, and when I get famous, I will meet and greet my choir and musicians, sing with them, and keep in mind that we are producing an event of art.
Yours, Andrés Magré (come back, Bach! We forgive you!)
