There there you lot,most of the patter is humour based i think.I would like someone to woffle on about how i wrote a song everyone sings once in my lifetime.It seems such a closed club of writers who sing one anothers songs.Guess if you are from a larger folk scene this is better for patting each others backs.I don't mean that in a nasty way at all.I know when Wild Wolds Women sang one of mine i was made up and felt 10 feet tall.I hope Tim feels the same when H.K sing one of his gems.So back to the point,some woffle is good and some is name dropping.Who cares as long as it is to the point.Woffle away as if it makes it a good night but not at the price of the music and the listener.
As for Out of Tune guitars,ask Steve Jackson.Sorry Steve,meow.
