on the subject of the Singers club, there were a lot of people who would not go near the place because of their singing policy, and that was nothing to do with people being allowed one song.
Jim Carrolls post is interesting because he criticises a singer who could not remember her words, he criticises her for asking for help with the tune, he criticises her for knitting.
A night at the Singers Club, Jim makes it sound like a bundle of laughs.
