Hi Nigel. Funny to go so far, electronically to make contact. was just browsing. By the way the song you and julian performed on Thursday night was absolutely wonderful.
I have always felt that as a sometimes, performer, If I expect people to listen to me, then I've got to be prepared to listen to other's. We have both done a lot of the latter. For me, it's generally what I do by far the most. Unfortunately all performers have an ego, or a desire to be appreciated, which means, what they do is far more important to them than anything anyone else does. In fact I've learnt far more from watching and listening to other's than I have ever learn't just doing it myself. I have also mostly enjoyed being an audience.
Never the less, like all of us, I'm part of the folk scene, because I like to play music myself.
Thanks for bring this up . All power to you. Cheers Murray
