Subject: RE: Does a folk singer have to sing 'well'?
Sometimes it's the song itself that is important at a particular time and if no one else in the song circle knows it, do the best you can to deliver it.

And some folk songs would have been lost forever if they hadn't been collected from poeple who knew them that didn't necessarily have great voices, or whose voices had been worn down through years of abuse at the local tavern!

Cheerily,
