Today was tough

But mainly from my perspective.

 Many people were appreciative  and several gave money in a generous way.

 I'm slowly getting the hang of what I can do well and what I do with great difficulty. I can improvise fairly easily but doing things that required built in 'muscle memory' that is learnt by repeating an operation many times is very slowly learnt. This is why I don't join a band who have a set routine as I would find this very difficult to remember. If I'm left free to make it up on the spur of the moment; that's much easier.

Furthermore I'm only slowly developing the skill to avoid squeeking, reliably - it's a hard learning curve.
