Lighten up?

Outwardly, I'm like thistledown (You at the back! Stop sniggering! I'm talking metaphorically!). I would never put anyone down - either publicly or privately; and, over the last 40 years or so, I have sat through some rubbish. Even when it gets really dire I try to keep a polite expression on my face and refrain from emitting groaning noises (well, most of the time!). But you can't censor what's going on in my head!

On the other hand I do make an effort to tell people if they've done that old 'hair-raising' trick.

As far as floor singing goes, I've always valued the workshop thing. Mainly because people can support and encourage each other - which, in my experience tends to lead to a better standard of singing.
Also I don't have to sit there in silent 'judgement', biting my tongue. And as I usually participate, people can have a 'pop' at me if they like!
