Hi, McMusic - sounds like we've been to the same parites a few times! Next time we should both wear a red carnation or something, then at least we'll have each other to talk to!

My mind's been racing on while I was typing this (it often leaves me behind, but I don't think it shows), and I started thinking, maybe we singers and musicians - or just we shy people - should have Masonic-style secret signs to announce ourselves in strange places. Now I've caught up with myself, I think it's a terrible idea (no offence to you Masons out there), but it's a shame we can't stand on a chair and shout "I'm shy - talk to me!" or something.

Of course, for a room full of children, multiply everything by two!
