Subject: Sessions for shut-ins
Anybody else like me? I am rather pleased that You Tube has come to be.

I lost my ability to sing about nine years ago. I lost my ability to play "strumming instruments" about seven years ago (meaning, I include Bodhran in that group - Hran being my weapon of choice). Oh, I can still crank out a few tunes on a good night, fuelled sufficiently, but, I had to give up any thought of performing publically and I don't even attend kitchen sessions much anymore. My choice, I suppose, but, when you can't do a good job, why bother?

But, I love the You Tube. I can jam with some of the best musios on the planet and have a ball of fun. And, they don't even blink when my voice cracks or my tipper flies out of my hand. (I would like to choke that Arthur Itis, if I could!)

So, any of you find solace or "company" in this new technology?
