I'm glad that I don't attend the singarounds mentioned above. The standard of the Good Intent Rochester, is sometimes breathtaking. True we have singers who are singing from crib sheets, but others can take you to another plain with their performances. Surely a local folk club should encourage anyone who wants to perform, sometimes they realize that they they are better of listening. I have been attending or running folk clubs since the mid 60s and cannot agree that, although things have changed, the standard has dropped
