Uncle Tone Criticism at singarounds (493* d) RE: Criticism at singarounds 29 Oct 13


Another issue.

How do you deal with a singer who sings the same old two or three songs over and over again everywhere he goes, and has done so for years, almost since the club was founded in fact? He's a good performer. The songs he writes are not great but interesting..... the first time round. His guitar playing is adequate.

Sometimes you can almost hear an audible groan when the audience recognise the opening chords yet again. It does seem that several folks manage to find their glass is empty when it's his turn, requiring a quick trip to the bar.

Do you ask him if he knows any others songs? Do you say, "You sung that last week, and the week before that, etc."

Do you have a rule that states you can't repeat a song within say, four club meetings?

Do you just put up with it?

Do you go to a different club?

He also has an annoying habit of playing his guitar before the club starts and during the beer break, when others want to tune up, but that is another matter.
