Thread Name: Appealing to the 'young people'
Subject: RE: Appealing to the 'young people'
Can't see anything wrong with doing Garageland on the melodeon.
Simon Ritchie's done Anarchy In The UK.

As a previously young person I was told by an old person that I'd got some words 'wrong'.
I just said I'd got them from a book.
This was true but what I didn't know was that I was actually doing a version of Child #1 but thought I'd made an original discovery.
Now I just tell 'old people' that I've made the words up, having forgotten what they actually are.
Young performers nowadays are brave enough to tell 'old people' that they've made words (and tunes) up because they make more sense than what they've found.
They know, generally, exactly where they've come from.
More than I did, anyway, and that's a Good Thing.
