I have just PMd Crow and have said that it was nothing personal to her, how my previous post might have come across.

It's just that we ALL feel passionate about our singing and playing.

There is a time for being sociable, and a time for when the reel point of what we do and how we do it really opens up.

We respect each other's efforts and talents/abilities/nerve and newbies just need to be "shown the way and nurtured or shown the door".

Peace and tolerance to all ok.
