Thread Name: Borrowed instruments - just say NO ?
Subject: RE: Borrowed instruments - just say NO ?
just spent a week in galax,virginia,at the fiddlers convention,and during the many jam sessions with my friends there,you would be surprised at how many spectators come up to you and ask to play your guitar,fiddle or whatever...all of a sudden they just think of a melody,song or whatever they have wriiten in their pointed heads,and want to perform it for all the other spectators standing around. wow!just to think,i traveled over 90 miles,paid $85.00 for a camping space,set up everything,got soken wet by a rain storm 2 nights in a row,had to have my vehicle pulled out of the mud...for a fee....and all of that just for them to use my guitar/dulcimer!!!NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!!!!
