Thread Name: Singarounds- Forgetting your words
Subject: Singarounds- Forgetting your words
Over the years at various singarounds, occasionally, often three quarters of the way through a song, the singer forgets the words, and invariably commences a new song instead.
My view of the matter is that if you forget the words, you should not be rewarded, by getting to do another song, but you should in fact be penalised for not getting it right, and be made to sit it out until the turn comes round again, when you might not be so careless about forgetting the words.
What do other mudcatters think on this?
Incidentally, at our folk club. we're thinking about getting a gong, to signal when this occurs. Anyone got one going spare?
