After fifty years of performing at, and organising, folk, clubs, singarounds, and sessions, I have long advocated that joining in with a singer who is out front, concert style, should be by his/her invitation only, except for choruses.

Singarounds are somewhat different, and I tend to join in with others who I KNOW will not mind.

Sessions are by definition joining in events, and anybody wishing to perform without others' input should so indicate at the start of his/her song.

IMHO, of course.

Pot and kettle Jim! You have hardly posted two polite comments in the last year, so to accuse those you despise and denigrate at every opportunity of treating YOU badly is, frankly, laughable.

So, YES, it was pretty near everything you said.
