Whis Stop - probably not a consensus on any point! I wouldn't let anything stop me writing what I like - but I want to try to understand how to present songs best. I am interested in what makes some songs more instantly likeable than others & what things influence are perceptions of a song & how we feel about the song. I need to feel confident that what I am singing is worthwhile in some way & that the audience might enjoy it - otherwise I lose faith in the middle & start wanting to giggle. Which is embarassing. Little Neo - I'm still digesting your post. It has lots of implications and angles. Makes a unique chain between the performer and each member of the audience. Lovely!!
