PS:

For Someday:

I think it's absolutely *Grand* to play Metallica followed up by Pussy Willows, Cat Tails!!

There's an interesting dynamic to this being on-stage thing. Even in clubs, you can take an audience where you want them to go - rather than be a human jukebox. Give a little to 'em - then teach a little to 'em.

It's a very good feeling to decline someone's offer of a generous tip to play a song . . .
then play it anyway. Now, I enjoy tips as much as the next saloon musician (a Sinatra compliment to us all, btw) but not when they think they can buy you.

Sounds to me like you've got wonderful control. I'd love to have the opportunity to see you in action. I figure you know how to both entertain and direct a crowd.

ATTABOY-GIRL!!!!

Blessings,

The Rez
