Hey, now, Joe!

I'm sure as hell no church lady, and *I* think you're wonderful!

And, I think you do a wonderful job with what you sing, too. I think it's because you do a good job of choosing well what you love, what suits you, your life, and your voice. I haven't heard you in church, but have in a gospel workshop, maybe even better. And to me, a 'folk' singer is someone who gets the other 'folk' singing, and you're real good at that.

Someone said in the most recent Pete thread that the instrument he plays best is the audience.

Now, what Kendall and Sandy are best at, in my experience of them, is presenting a song TO you. And I think this is a different, if closely related TYPE of folk-singing.

I personally am terrible at singing TO people, but can do a creditable job of getting people to sing with me when it's a song I love, that suits my voice.

So, perhaps we can define 'folk singers' first, then this one will be EASY ; )
