"It seems that we are a great deal more interested in talking than singing."
Why?
Can't you do both.
Understanding a song is part of learning to sing it well.
Ho would you react f someone said - you should be talking about songs and not singing them - the first one to squal "Folk police" - no doubt.
Do you have any means of identification and a search warrant?
"i am more interested in singing, which is why i have spent little time contributing to these threads."
Which makes you the singer you are, no doubt!!
