Thread Name: Folk Music should be fun
Subject: RE: Folk Music should be fun
I'm afraid "Kilkelly" changed it for me. Was playing the song in Invermere one night and couldn't figure out what the commotion was. Turns out there was a lady, behind me, quite literally crying her eyes out. We're not talking about a gentle sob here. More of a "Soaked Hanky, shoulder heaving, let it all out" sort of thing. (Jeeze, I didn't think I was that bad) No amount of reassurances by herself and her husband could convince me that she wouldn't have had a better time without it. They're lovely people, by the way. I do understand that many of us enjoy some depth from the artists but there is a limit. No?
