Perhaps if you didn't have such a chip on your shoulder you'd be invited
to some informal chambermusic sessions.  I don't know why it is necessary
(after you write a cheery message about something musical that you liked)
to take a swipe immediately at classical musicians.  Unless your hometown
is very different from the rest of the planet, I'd say musicians all over
enjoy having audiences.  Amateurs, especially!  What is a performer without
an audience?

Hmph.
