Subject: RE: Mythological Proportions of the Present
Hi Brendy!

That is the point! I am much enammoured of the folk sing, don't get me wrong... I was referring to the difficulties I personally face when I do a song that reaches into my own reality, and stimulates in me a vulnerability akin to nakedness...

It is easier for me to sing with detatchment of situations and feelings distant; like an actor. But when the feelings conveyed are my own, and are taken as such, it begins to feel like I'm wading through all of the audience's feelings, and this is more difficult for me. And,... the merging of song, feelings, and reality are bound together in the moment... ANEW!
