Thread Name: Singarounds- Forgetting your words
Subject: RE: Singarounds- Forgetting your words
Right on Dave...

um, now what was I going to say....

One point, is that nowadays we are accustomed (by several generations) to RECORDINGS, both visual and aural. When making recordings, there is a pressure to "get it perfect" as the damn thing will hang around forever...

I wonder if this discussion about performing things "to perfection" was so heated in the days before the technology existed. Of course, actors in a play in those days may have said exactly all the things said here about performance.... I doubt that "folk singers" in our ilk existed then...
