Subject: RE: Folk Club Manners
I was at a session recently which is mostly (Irish) instrumental but with room for occasional unaccompanied songs and even a recitation, dance.... whatever. Anyway, I was asked to sing a song. Among the dozen or so musicians was a trio of teenage girls - a fiddler, accordion and concertina player, respectively. While I was singing, not only did they chat among themselves - but they were simultaneously busy texting their friends! I was torn between being annoyed and being lost in admiration of their multi-tasking skills!
All three are already good musicians but, Jeez, they still have a lot to learn!
