..so I don't have to do any lectures. I don't mind playing my fiddle in front of people but lectures/speeches, egad!!!! When I had my Aftrican art exhibit, attended no less by Ms Maya Angelou(a brief appearance..), I had to speak daily to haords of school kids who were bused from their schools to the library. It was exhausting. I also broke a few of my pieces carrying them around and back and forth to the house. It was a lot more work than I had anticipated. This time I will set things up and we will have one night with wine and a speaker. I will provide lots of written info for visitors, but I ain't gonna speak. There will be ancient beads, ancient Chinese pottery. beads, and jades, and god knows what else. Steve
