Thread Name: Trad vs. Singer-Songwriters at festivals
Subject: RE: Trad vs. Singer-Songwriters at festivals
More and more I'm finding myself listening to singers with whom I completely agree. The causes they sing about are the same ones I'm willing to march for, to write letters to the papers about, to do anything in my power to support. And they are great people - most of them - BUT the poetry is gone from the lyrics, the good melodies are just not there - most of the singer-songwriter songs just don't make it for me. Maybe I'm just an old crank but I haven't yet tired of the old songs.
