Understanding a song is part of learning to sing it well. Ho would you react f someone said - you should be talking about songs and not singing them - the first one to squal "Folk police" - no doubt. Do you have any means of identification and a search warrant? "i am more interested in singing, which is why i have spent little time contributing to these threads." Which makes you the singer you are, no doubt!! Jim Carroll |

From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker I'm not a singer.... yet I actually read with great interest the threads on singing and repertoire, but don't post because I have little of value to contribute. Maybe that's more common than realised, you can only count posts here. Mudcat as far as I know does not indicate how many times a thread is opened just to be read out of interest. .... and though I do tend to be indisciplined with my half serious half impishly stupid facetious comments, there are many threads I actually consider to be off limits out of respect. |

Mudcat as far as I know does not indicate how many times a thread is opened just to be read out of interest.' A very good point. I often read with interest but have nothing to say or what I was about to say has already been said. I will admit though to an occasional post mainly to keep the thread on the list for others to see. |
