WAV you're such a sad person - you see problems and restrictions and don'ts and negatives where the rest of the world sees joy. Music is wonderful whoever and wherever it's played. Dance is wonderful anywhere, any style.

Even your banal verse is better written than if you had never tried. Singing improves with practice so does playing an instrument.

Norma Waterson, bastion of English folk chose to sing a West indian version of Streets of Laredo last night on Channel 4 - it was great.

Think positive. Be happy for everyone who performs anything: it's better than performing nothing, even (especially?) if it's outside your box.

Put your talents and energy to better use.
