Holy _shit_, that was crowded! But I had more normal amounts of energy (for me), for at least the first few hours. Finally, however, the lack of sunlight for many days (stupid clouds and rain) and only just having gotten over irritating exhaustion sickness got to me, and I started fading _fast_. So, escape was required. (Run away!)

I'm just hoping that the next one I go to is not that crowded. (watch the next Psinging be almost empty, since it's one I'm not attending)

I seem to be starting to get tired of songs about toys and teddy bears. Must remember to escape for a bit during those, because being annoyed by songs just isn't good.

I have developed great fondness for Pippin's "Corner of the Sky" and "No Time At All".

Also, Dar Williams' "You're Aging Well" almost made me cry in the car driving down for pre-Psinging dinner. That was unexpected...

Sleep needed badly. Family visiting tomorrow.

And phone call with australian_joe! *glee*

Kids Psinging: No idea; but it's not (from what I can tell) kids, or their parents, who are requesting most of the kids songs which are being played pretty much every week. The kids and parents seem better about requesting _different_ kids songs. I'll just go with my plan of leaving the room during certain toy and teddy bear songs... (at least I _can_, not being a particularly vital part of leading songs or anything!)

I should really stop being lazy/distractable and bring more songs in, myself.

Also, I'm very amused by your definition of 'real music'. :) How _do_ you tolerate Psinging with _that_ definition?

Well, I don't think it's _good_ definition! I try not to be too judgmental about the music that's important to people. I tend to fail, since taste is such a big aspect of self-presentation and identity, but my ideal is just to say "many people like different music from me and maybe eventually I will appreciate it."

The only total failures tend to be things that are both out of my range and so complicated I can't find a lower, more comfortable octave (Indigo Girls, for instance). If I can't even imagine myself singing it, it's very hard for me to get a feel for.
