Hi - Really enjoyed Tuesday night. ........ This is all new to me and
I like the format and that's it's via Zoom. Certainly helps me with my
social anxiety - I used to be part of a ukulele group and we would do
local gigs but my anxiety when on stage got too much (when you nearly
pass out when at the front of the stage you know it's time to quit!!)

I have had an interesting experience with a man who had been coming to
one of my in-person groups. He never said a word to anyone but seemed
nice and engaged fully with the singing. Other people in the group were
very friendly to him but he never spoke. He is now in one of my Zoom groups
and he has said some incredibly creative and insightful comments fairly
regularly and seems much more comfortable. He told me last week he has
autism. He said he can feel overloaded when people talk to him. So zoom
is a great opportunity for him and I'm delighted to receive the great
ideas he is now sharing."

"Hello
Thank you for last night, was good, I am getting use to zoom singing...
I thought you would be interested the three little birds song reminds
me of after the earthquake, when I was scared and needing some safety.
I heard this and it gave me hope and positive that I was going to get
out of the country. I wanted to say about it last night but I did not
like to everyone. I hear this now and it reminds me how far I have come."
