I sometimes have to strain to remember, when too much polyfiller comes my way, that the thing I most like about people at open mics is the desire to make music and the courage to do so. This outweighs--most of the time--my occasional flinch at the dumchukkery to which they resort. I know for sure that if they knew a better arrangement they would use it, and the fact that they are standing up and singing forgives a great deal of error.
