Subject: RE: Tedious old standards - revival due?
Great replies from everyone. I particularly liked the idea of "Songs We All Know But Are Too Hip To Sing".

There's quite a lot of these older songs that I love to sing, and will sing them in the pub, or at family occasions (where the Wild Rover is regarded as "my" song), but I still sometimes feel a bit awkward wheeling them out in front of "real" folkies.

There are times when I just go ahead anyway. Now, where can I get a Burl Ives songbook? :-)

WassaiL! V
