Guy
When I looked before responding to Paul's request, you weren't a member here. Had you been, I would have been more sparing of your feelings and been less blunt. But I'm sure you're right when you say that Friday went down much better.
Since the prime audience was really other performers, my comments were not meant as a criticism of you per se but as an expression of my general feelings about the difficulty of any amateur putting on such a night. I must admit that as a Jake fan I am very conscious that, while an amateur can bring something different/fresh to Jake's songs, that only lasts a short while and then I start to be more aware of what's missing (ie Jake's delivery) than what's present.
All that aside, all power to your elbow in keeping Jake's memory alive and converting some new fans to his wonderful songs. I'm sure from your response that you won't let this old fart deter you from future gigs. I suspect you'll go on again.
