I love your description of how we were riffing off each other. Yep, exactly, and very well put. The joy and pleasure you were experiencing greatly added to my own.

In my less than humble opinion, plunking yourself down in the middle of the music circle floor was exactly right for the party as well as for you. The time, place, and your mood all helped make it so, though I think it's likely to be equally appropriate at various times in the future. It's obnoxious when the plunker is an energy vampire, sucking the music and creativity rather than soaking in it. When the plunker shows welcome, informed appreciation, it adds to the energy of the circle, and the whole party, too. And when the listener glows like you do, it's even better.

ConFusion is a delight. Please pass my thanks on to everyone who helps make it so!
