Thread Name: Religion and Song Circles
Subject: RE: Religion and Song Circles
HEY... I was recently part of a Prayer circle and can you believe someone actually had the nerve to Break into a Folk song.
Christ.. we were so OFFENDED. Down right Terrorism at its WORST...

ITs absolutely no wonder we live in a society where folks start legal litigations everytime they get a Hair Bent.
I grew up in Brooklyn NY..It was a pretty diverse neighborhood ethnically and it taught me at a YOUNG age to be Tolerant of Others and their Feelings. If you are singing or participating in a Song circle that encompasses American Traditional Music then I really hate to point it out but the Word GOD and LORD and ANGELS are going to flying in your Face all the time.. Get over it and if you cant.. PLAY POLKAS.
As I stated in the last post.. Limit what folks can say prior to their tune to AUTHOR..Title..chord progression..ITS not a soapbox for anyone to sell their wares..Song circles are for Song. ALL Song "except of course for accordian pieces because the term (squeeze box) I personally find offensive"
