Thread Name: Singing in dialect
Subject: RE: Folklore: Singing in dialect
Dead Horse ... well said. I actually love the sound of several languages. And, as a singer, I know several songs in several different languages. However, I speak only three passibly. So, I indulge myself by reveling in this wonderful music in other languages ... but ONLY when I'm alone. I would never presume to sing a Czech song in front of a Czech, 'nor a french Canadien ditty in front of someone who knows the language well. I would feel insulting. But, that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy them, to MY fullest, when I'm alone. And I do, daily. CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
