Sorry if I hurt your feelings Spaw--To be blunt, the question is perilously close to the "How do you play Jazz Guitar?" kind of questions, and yes, I do go off occasionally, and to be truthful, when I began writing my reply, it turned into a huge rant on the folkie multitudes who gravitate toward any available stage with the eagerness of weenie pigs. At least Joelewis had some thought about trying to please his audience--

More truth, and don't take this personally Joelewis(thought your name was Joe elvis at first), most people who toss off the "I'm thinking about performing, writing, recording" never make it off the sofa. Maybe one out of a hundred make it through enough stuff to play on a stage anywhere(see above).
