CS,
I'm really sorry you asked that
Bryan and I have 'issues' regarding the basic standards of singing which I beleive necessary before a singer is asked to perform before a club audience. I have already allowed myself to be driven from one thread rather than indulge in a slanging match which had nothing whatever to do with the question under discussion, thus interfering with the progress of that thread. I have neither the desire nor intention of allowing the same to happen with this thread, which, I believe, is probably one of the most valuable, positive and enjoyable discussions I have taken part in since joining Mudcat.
