wow, you had that large an audience? sounds like when we hit the knitting
factory, but here in the south end of the land, it's a bit different, fifty
people and we're almost all fellow worker bees! we had a small venue, being
a small crowd! and maybe performing is a different perspective. also, i
think you could be right about people not noticing a difference if they're
not composers themselves and therefore unfamiliar with the business end, i
am so immersed in it that i didn't even think of it as a fan oriented
performance. we don't really have those, do we? :) PS, i love being rebecca
263, much fun to mix it up with you all! cheers!
