Thread Name: Can Posh People Sing Folk Songs?
Subject: RE: Can Posh People Sing Folk Songs?
In some ways I could be considered posh. I have a PhD, but not in music, and I was trained as a classical violinist. I still love classical as well as folk music. I used to make pretty good money and live comfortably, but now I'm unemployed and broke. I may be posh. I can't carry a tune, so my fiddle is my voice. I play folk music pretty well. I've heard people who play better and people who play worse. I play in tune, keep the beat, love what I'm doing, and I'm certainly entitled to play.
