Subject: RE: A Real Folksinger
Yeah, Yeah, I know, I know.

From, THE DEPARTMENT OF REDUNDANCY DEPT.

As stated previously, I'll give it another shot and say this one more time.

STAND UP STRAIGHT, LOOK INTELLIGENT AND DON'T DRAG YOUR KNUCKLES.

Also, Entirely too many of you are spending entirely too much time categorizing when you could be listening to composing, singing and enjoying (or being disgusted with) music

I'm an old folk (72) who earns his living singing to other folks. I occasionally compose new material. I know and sing at least 1500 pieces of "stuff" (that's what my wife and I have in our list of song titles) I enjoy myself more than the other folks who are listening to me do. If I like it, I learn it and perform it (if my musical abilities are up to it) The list includes "La Donna E Mobile" from Rigoletto as well as Home on the Range, One Meatball,Saint Louis Blues, My old Man's a Dustman and Life Get's Tedjius, Don't it ? etc. etc. etc.

I cinsider myself to be "A Folksinger"

WHAT? YOU DISAPPROVE?

I AM DEVESTATED!!!!!!

I SHALL NEVER SING ANOTHER NOTE. I WILL,FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, SIT QUIETLY IN THE CORNER AND ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT LED YOU TO THIS "NON-APPROVAL"

I remain, humbly and crest-fallen, Y'R Ob'd't s'v'nt>
