At the ceilis where I alternately play and dance,the waltzes are often sung. This brings a nice touch, and at least allows for a few songs at the end of the night. Also, a good number of people come to listen anyways. There are lots of ways one art slips into another. If you've ever seen Arlo Guthrie, Utah Phillips os Rosalie Sorrels, you know that they are more storytellers than singers. But hhow many people would cram into clubs to see them if they were advertised as such? On the subject of musicians fighting over tunes, be warned: there are some recent storries going around about ASCAP going around harassing sessions and even campfires at festivals! Be careful before you call that next Liz Caroll tune at your local pub. I don't know how much they could do in a situation like that, but at least it could be a real nuisance. Rich
