Hi GSS

In your opening of this thread you never mentioned PERFORMANCE.

Mind you I think that many so called "folk singers" need to learn about performance.

You were bemoaning the lack of good young finger-picking today.

I and others here believe that you are wrong on this point. They are out there. Maybe you haven't seen them in folk clubs.

IMHO Most buskers are not really interested in performance - they want to let the people know they are there.
