doncatterall Is it Ok to sing from a song book? (539* d) RE: Is it Ok to sing from a song book? 14 Feb 10


Well said Tim

As I, and others, have said previously and in my opinion if a song is worth singing it's worth learning. However I would not walk out of or stop going to sessions because someone relies on a "crutch". At our club singers now apologise to me for singing from the words because they know my opinion but I would rather hear the song than them not singing because they can't get their head round it.

This Thursday I intend singing Mike Waterson's "A Stitch in Time". Its a song I've known and wanted to sing for years but never got the words into my head. I've been working on it for the past week or so and all verses bar one are now pretty secure.

I'll let you know how I get on - wish me luck!!

Don
