Harpgirl,That's funny, I thought this was a Cafe FOR music people who are... whole people.. and share many common interests for the perspective of music people??
Defined by its collective membership and voice, not limited to any one paradigm?
If we met at a 3D Cafe and talked about music, you'd get up and walk out if I asked after your family? Here in my part of the world we START with the personal stuff (from the mundane to the sublime) before gettin' down to bizness... it's a rural thing, you know, a politeness... Have been corrected by my more-rural and more-gracious friends often enough to think we don't do ENOUGH of that here!
Well, go figure.
