Well, actually Mick and Paw, I wasn't exactly sitting back chortling about this thread (until you reminded me that the Fender acoustic was lefthanded..now that's double jeopardy, and funny!) Just one of those late night solo thinking sessions, that get out of hand.

Joe's point about seeing yourself as "something" but often "falling out of step with the others," hits home for me constantly. I sing for the socialists every Mayday, but I'm horridly disappointed at the way they always take sides in wars. (Especially the current one) Not one of the spokepersons has ethnic ties to the area but it's just automatic for them that "U.S. bullets-bad, Serb-bullets good". That's too much ideology for me. The songs I'll sing for them are anti-ANY-war. But will they listen?
