GUEST,A regular Relationship Between Recording and Folk (57* d) RE: Relationship Between Recording and Folk 02 Jan 08

I have never heard a song performed live twice the same way. You can do that with a recording--hear it twice the same way. Recordings are insurance policies that certain songs will be available for people to hear when those who did it have passed on. I don't know enough about the folk process to understand any 'purists' stance on the issue, but Jerry (as usual) put it well (IMO} as did those who echoed him.
