I was being realistic re my own performance.
and greatful for your kind ears.
I do believe there is a huge difference between the standard you need to play for pay and what I do which is playing to freinds.
I seem to have great knack for saying the wrong thing just lately.
So will point out that I dont mean that as any disrespect to my freinds,but I would'nt want them to pay to hear me and in the situations I am comfortable to play in there are loads of others who contribute.
Sometimes there are top performers there and more often its just great to hear the ones who dont sing or play too well but they bring a lot of love of their music to let me enjoy and I bloody well do.
There are thousands of us and we should be proud of what we can do not down on ourselves or others because we dont fall into the category of genius.
Mike should sing and Paul should get an instrument.
( This last is a joke he plays the Banjo very well and I love to hear him(and his better half).
Last weeek I sat in a club in Scunthorpe and listened to a very varied set of musicians playing.
BWM was there and he is a very acomplished singer guitarist and performer, twenty people in the room and I enjoyed every minute.
Sitting in a bar in Loftus last November I was sitting near a very odd looking guy who borrowed a guitar and gave a performance you wouldnt believe.
Vin Garbut audience about 20.
Brilliant breathtaking stuff.
But he asked me about my songs unbelievable.
I am not name dropping
Just a lucky bloke to meet all of you that I have.
And to know the value of having you to listen to and listen to me.
We all need to start somewhere
