Uncle Tone Criticism at singarounds (493* d) RE: Criticism at singarounds 30 Oct 13

"Ho hum. Here we go."

Whatever he says now I'll give him the last word. It'll keep him happy.


"happily announced that he hadn't played his next song for "twenty years""

He might have meant he hadn't played it in public for 20 years. Hopefully he has practised it.

I am currently reviving songs from the 60s that I haven't played for some 40 years.

They are going down well. The reaction is usually "I haven't heard that for n number of years!" Well, quite.

Just because songs are getting old doesn't mean they are out-of-date or irrelevant, but I am spending quite a lot of time re-learning them before I do them publicly.

Examples?

Little Boxes (but in a minor key)
Chords of Fame (Phil Ochs)
Birmingham Sunday (Richard Farina)
Champion at Keepin' "em Rollin (McColl)
Grey Funnel Line (Tawney)
