I made a really good decision yesterday to go to this music thing at a localish pub. I was worried about going - strangers, talented musicians, will they like me, will they hate my music etc. BUT it was fabulous and so warm and friendly. Got huge cheers for my songs. We all just sat round a table and passed the guitar, whilst there was this ridiculously talented violin player doing backing fiddle improvs and playing jigs. I was thinking of some characteristics of musicians in this kind of setting.

We are all slightly deranged but in a nice way.
Everyone must tap their foot or nod their head in time to the music, or clap.
Everyone must clap and cheer at the end of each song.
Lager is the drink of choice, failing that bitter.
Everyone is broke.
You get offered chances to do very interesting things - I was offered the chance to be in a nigerian play

I had to leave early as I needed to take my meds and am having a GGT done so need to watch my alcohol intake atm. But I plan on staying for the whole of the next one. It was really good. Ooh just realised I might be at my festival then. Oh well, will make the next one.

Anyhow the point of this is if you are not sure about doing something new, go for it you may find it is a riot and if you dont enjoy it you can always leave.

Back to reality now, got GP today

Hope all are well.
