Marion , there is no such thing as a bad performance, only a bad attitude! Stephan Grappelli probably had a few bad gigs, but hey, call it jazz and you get away with murder!!

Did anyone ask you to stop? Did anyone cringe and walk away? No? Well there you go. Hopefully you went home with that warm fuzzy feeling that no-one can describe or predict. Keep going and both you and they will get better.

The Bible (sorry to those who haven't read it) says 'make a joyful noise unto the Lord', it doesn't say anything about it being in tune.

LTS - who once played lead in a pantomime to the patients in the local mental institution (used to be the asylum 150 years before) and had a lady in the front row blowing raspberries all the way through except during 'somewhere over the rainbow' where she got up, dropped her pants and made a rainbow of her own in the front row. Now that's what I call musical appreciation!
