Ian Fyvie	To introduce songs, or not, and how? (114* d)	RE: To introduce songs, or not, and how?	07 Jun 09
I think a song should generally have an intro (except when a spontaneous performance feels right) - but that's personal, not a dictat! I simply differ with those who advocate saying the same thing in the same way like a script. If a song needs something particular said about it - surely there's no problem varying the wording or expression. And does the song need the same thing said about it for every audience? What about different emphasis for different occasions for example? If I can relate a song to a news item, for example, or something else contemporary I'll do so. It just needs a bit of lively thinking and avoiding the rut Don referred to. And Shad, I'd get bored with any 'act' however brilliant. Once you've seen it, you've seen it... Ian Fyvie
