GUEST,wooden spoon Songleading Vs. Performing (32) RE: Songleading Vs. Performing 20 Feb 07


Songleading? Performing? Singers have 'performance' built into them, particularly those who do so unaccompanied. This is evidenced all too often by calls for 'hush' by the high priest/ess of the gathering, dagger looks if one dares to join in (let alone add suitable accompaniment), and applause after each 'performance', warranted or not.

Give me a good Session anytime, with its minimalist approach to applause and such like: the players are more likely at the end of a set to simply reach for their pints and resume their chat. At most, a quiet "hmmm .... nice tune" will suffice.

I'll get my coat!
