Yeah...well...what's frustrating is that it *was* expanded, once upon a time. I played open mics. I sang in public, even.
I don't think I'd realized how much I pulled back until I started up with this stuff again. Oh well....
I did hear that the local Irish session is still going, despite word to the contrary on the site where it was listed. There was a guy at the festival that heard me playing an Irish tune and told me I should come. I guess the guy who used to run it isn't running it anymore, and took down any information on it, but it *is* actually still going.
That’s cool about the Irish session! Is it anywhere near you, so you could attend on a regular basis?
