Subject: RE: BS: Sick and Tired...
I can understand someone getting enough fiddling. I go to a gathering of folkies each winter, and the fiddlers just take over. A half dozen or so of them will grab the center of the main room, and literally fiddle for sometimes 5 or 6 hours without a break. This is crazy making for the people who came to sing or listen to singing. I suppose it's great if you fiddle, but, after 4 or 5 hours of it tempers get short. It seems like the fiddlers enter into an altered state and have no clue what is going on around them outside the circle of fiddlers. We finally had to suggest to them that maybe they should take a smaller room. They got a little huffy, but, hey, majority rules eh?
