Subject: RE: Playing your own stuff at folk clubs
If YOU really like a song, go ahead and perform it -- even if you happend to write it.

There's the rub. You might like it, but will others? On the other hand there may be a song which you did not think one of your best but which goes down really well. There's always an element of uncertainty.

One of my tunes that has had the most positive feedback was not one of my personal favourites when I wrote it. Although it seems to move along quite nicely, I thought I had made it a little too repetitive, but others seem to like it.
