Thread Name: blue books revisited (Rise Up Singing)
Subject: RE: blue books revisited (Rise Up Singing)
Song sessions centered around RUS are amazingly similar to some instrumental slow jams. A song book is great for learning but it's death on a song circle when used as a crutch. Slow jams can be a good learning tool but there are folks who never get out of their comfort zone to learn anything new or faster.
I have no problem with folks getting together and doing anything that pleases them. (That leaves the field open!) But RUS song circles bore the bejesus out of me.
