Subject: RE: Singer/songwriters(again)
Al alternative scenario- incorporating a more realistic view of the attitudes of young people.

Young singer songwriter:- "What's that boring old rubbish you're playing man?"
Aging Folk singer:- "Red River Valley"
Young singer songwriter:-"Is it an old Woody Guthrie song?"
Aging Folk singer:-"Nobody knows who wrote it"
Young singer songwriter:-"Sounds like nobody did write it. All those cheesy standard chords-Yuk!"
Aging Folk singer drops to the ground, stunned by the realisation of his own irrelevance.
Young singer songwriter:-(picks up old Gibson) "I'll get a good price for this on Ebay, and buy myself a big PA rig"

Cheers
