peregrina	Ways not to introduce your song (26)	RE: Ways not to introduce your song	15 Aug 16
I'd be happy to hear fewer banjo jokes and fewer body-count/misery jokes about the ballads. Chances are, a folk audience is there because they like banjos and ballads, maybe even like them very much, and already know something about them. The banjo is a wonderful instrument well-played. The long survival of the ballads hows that the dark ones need no apologies or special pleading. The jokes about both fall into the deprecating category--deprecating the tradition.
