Hello ladies!Well, congratulations on hitting this milestone! I've yet to listen to #50, I've spent the last couple of weeks catching up on the previous episodes.Here's to another 50 episodes :)

In regard to the fiddling and singing thing, it depends as to what you mean by doing both at once. Because like, while I could do both at once, I couldn't if, say, the song was really super fast/complicated or something. However, people have been known to jig and fiddle at the same time (and THAT is a real challenge, keeping your bow from skipping around on the strings while jumping about)! The foot-tapping and playing, however, is natural. No thought necessary for such a thing.The problem with such word play in French is not really that you CAN'T do it per se. Rather, the problem is that as a foreigner, any liberties you take with the language will be interpreted as mistakes. I do tend to invent words, but I do so only with friends who know that I enjoy doing so in both language (like school friends, etc.). My favorite transformation in french tends to being transforming words by adding the "-age" to the end. Muhahaha.

That was hilarious. I guess I didn't tell you my blog name. No matter.If you do get an answer for HOW all those people knew WHEN to rush the stage, dude, you have GOT to tell me.Also... the question on tipping the seating people... apparently that's the only way those people get paid. At least that is what the signs at the Olympia say. The seat sitters live off of the tips and don't get any other wage.A+Jennifer
