This past week FingerPaint performed for an art opening of a friend of
ours, Darryl Dardenne. People were wandering around looking at the
paintings and conversing as we played. It was fun to watch them looking and
ocassionally some would come and sit and pay attention to us.

We've also performed in a planetarium at Montgomery College. The stars are
twirling and we're twiddling knobs. Not a bad way to go.

Many people are looking for virtuosic instrumental displays or at least
people playing on the edge of thier skills. With what we do in FingerPaint
neither of these are important. We are boring to watch. Thus some type of
visual distraction is an aid to those audience members who need it.
