Thread Name: Is it Ok to sing from a song book?
Subject: RE: Is it Ok to sing from a song book?
"You did it Wrong..it's supposed to be in A"

Most of my responses were go-to-hell looks. I also tried
"..actually, the singer gets to choose the key"
My personal favorite was "that may be, but I'm certainly not interested in prolapsing to sing here!"

After a few years, I did come up with a ladylike response..
"It IS?? Gosh, I bet that's neat..will you do it and show me how it goes?"
He is an awful singer/player and didn't like being put on the spot (heh heh) His commentary stopped.



Snail, it sounds to me like maybe the difference in your club may be that the group simply gets what it expects and knows how to provide strong leadership..

If it's ridiculous for Charlie to tell me I sing wrong because of the key I chose, isn't it equally ridiculous to tell Snail that he is wrong for whatever it is he's supposedly doing to ruffle feathers around here?
