Subject: RE: Whats in your gig bag?
Yes - or no - but .009s anyway. That decimal point makes all the difference!

Hecklers? One or two, but audiences tend to deal with them themselves, in folk anyway. The worst I ever had was a nine-year-old girl at a wodland gig who just wouldn't shut up - everything I said she had a come back, so I ended up making part of the act. I reckon that kid's going to be about 19 now and a better storyteller than I'll ever be! There's always one, as they say, which isn't strictly true but it's good to have a lively audience to bounce off, at least it is with storytelling anyway.

Here's a thing though, why can I only get my .009s up to D on my citera? Same scale length as Rapunzel's Purple Heart Daisy Rock but if I push it up to E they just snap. Wierd or what?
