Subject: RE: Why do well known songs get sung slower?
PB, I discovered years ago (when I was learning to frail) that you can play slow: you just have to play twice as many beats. It still sounds fast, but everyone has to sing really slow. The overal effect is pretty awful, and you'll find that people will actually prefer you to play "properly".
