Subject: RE: Why do some singers resent tunes?
Maybe I live on a different planet (well I live in a different country)?

I am basically a musician who loves to back singers (only if they want to be backed of course). But there again, as well a traditional, I'm also heavily into blues and jazz/blues where playing with a singer is the norm (and where what you leave out is as important as what you play).

At the regular traditional session we have here, singers are liked and respected and we miss them if they aren't present. That isn't to say we haven't occasionally had the "speed freak" problem with musos a few times over the years.

Peace
