So to summarize Janie's post, he's a bad singer but in folk music it's important to have bad singers singing along with the good singers so as not to be elitist.

I accept that is your interpretation, but will note, simply in the fwiw department, that interpretation and summary are not synonyms.



So. Some folks love him, some folks hate him. Some folks formerly admired him and now they don't. Some folks either don't mind or actually enjoy his singing, even while no one is asserting he is a fine vocal performer in the singing department, and some folks find they can no longer tolerate listening to PHC because his singing ruins all of it, past, present, or some combination of the two, for them.

Different strokes for different folks. I'm not an idiot for enjoying and admiring him, including the fact that he chooses to sing. Those who don't share my enjoyment and admiration are also not idiots.

As several folks have already said, if you don't like it, turn the dial.
