Re Leadfingers point about singing with seven or eight musicians. I and my voice have just survived two nights as I do most week-ends.

Last night was 4 guitars, one dobro, one five string banjo, three mandolins and a double bass and two fiddles. The secret(?) is to play with people who are sensitive and aware of what is going on and lay back or drop out when the singer is on and when another is taking a solo. Have you folks never heard of dynamics ?
If you have musicians in your circle who are too loud and have no sensitivity then politely tell them to "shut the ++++ up". Electricity is not the answer, it just gets louder and louder.


So Richard Thompson used electric guitar a lot ??? What does this mean or prove ??
