The Vulgar Boatman	To introduce songs, or not, and how? (114* d)	RE: To introduce songs, or not, and how?	03 Jun 09
Great thread. Bless you Barbara - you've been credited in my intros. My rules - honesty - don't pretend otherwise if you really found it on a recording; if you had the fortune to be given a song by another singer, acknowledge them; likewise if you stole a song - most of us, from Homer onwards have done (spot the Kipling link...); if you really love a song or genre of songs, tell the people why - briefly. All these can engage an audience. Then, save lectures for the wonderful occasion when you are engaged to do a lecture recital...and, be lucky - I had the great fortune to do a concert on International Talk Like a Pirate Day. At a maritime festival. What a gift. (It's September 19th BTW)
