"..........just colleagues and not friends", ???????????? This is a VERY serious point you have raised and you have already been offered several good and considered opinions.

Some times our best and most important friends are people we don't really know at all, let alone call our colleagues. Some of the people we know best are not our friends. This game we play, which we call 'making music' is really all about open communication and trying to make each other feel good.

Was the performance really not so good, or were you as a potential recipient of the performers' efforts to create some mutally enjoyable communication being too judgemental?
Okay, maybe it did suck realative to what the likes of Jake, Bud, Harvery, Maurice, Dennis, Ed etc., etc, might have done. BUT, did the performer(s)set out to make you feel ill as a result of being exposed to their moosick??

Quietly leave and say nothing????????? How bloody cowardly!!!

It would probably be better to walk past and say, Hey Chuck, that really was pretty awful, but , hey man, you tried and that's what counts. It's a real shit when you've been busting a gut to get ready and the nerves hit and stuff you up. But hey, let's have a drink and get a group together and do some playing together.

Music is not all about perfection, it's about taking risks and expressing yourseld and hoping that others will join in the other end of the communication line..............and remember it works both ways!
