I have met Marion on several occasions and sang with her and for her, and listened to her playing. I must tell you that she is wonderful. It does not surprise me one whit that she would do this. I am proud to know you, my friend.

You sat with some of the finest musicians in North America and acquitted yourself very well. Just keep following your instincts and playing. You are on the right road. I can't wait to see you and sing with you again.

As to the subject at hand, I would say that your obligation under any code of ethics is to do the very best you can with your performance. As long as your performance meets that mark, you are OK. That is not to say that there are not places that should cause you to stop and think. But in any group of musico's that I know of, if the attitude is what Marion exudes, they will be nothing but encouraging.
