Following on from the Is there a Folk Club mafia thread, have you ever been to one of those places where there is a disapproving soul who rather wound you up into doing something to annoy them?
I was at a session once where someone sang a parody and a lady singer very vociferously voiced her disgust at parodies, strangely enough the whole evening after that was a succession of parodies, which I am sure would not have happened if she hadn't been so high on her horse - and many a great folk song we know and accept today is infact a parody to an even earlier folk song. I bet she wished she'd stayed quiet though!
Cheers, Lucy
