Jim Carroll Well what Bryan?
There have been a number of threads raging against the use of word and/or tune sheets in folk clubs and sessions. I can't recall whether you've been invoved in any of them or not. It seems to be generally thought that you can't do justice to a song if you are reading the words especially if you announce "This is one I wrote this afternoon". It is interesting to discover that Peggy Seeger was not above that sort of thing.
