"But if someone got a folk club gig and spent the whole time covering Beatles songs.." I personally frown on anyone who gets up in a folk club and sings more than one song from any one particular artist of any description. It somehow all of a sudden becomes 'tribute night', unless of course, they are all self-penned! I wonder if this thread would have gone on ad nausium if Cuddles had titled it 'John Lennon's Folk Songs', instead of declaring him a 'Folk Singer'? And for those who brought Dylan into the discussion, we already know he's not a folk singer, he's a 'song and dance man'! :)
