Thread Name: What's so bad re' singer/songwriters?
Subject: RE: What's so bad re' singer/songwriters?
Terry, read the beginning of the post, it's more or less what I said 80 postings ago!!!

There are good SS's and bad SS's, the good ones learn by audience reaction and the bad ones don't. Evolution will dispose of them, as evolution is wont to do. We usually refer to the omphalscopists as singing music to slash your wrists to. The worst sorts of SS's are those who do a 4 song set when asked to do 2, and make sure that he last one is longer than the whole of Tam Lin!!

There is also the sort who suffer from what Micca calls "charisn'tma", and we ALL know someone like that!!! You know the sort of person, when two people are talking and one looks bored shitless, he is the other one. Sort of person who thinks they are the only person in the world to have ever lost their teddy bear.

I'm so encouraged that I may just go dig out all the crap I wrote 20 years ago and see if I can find tunes for any of it.

And just what is wrong with 'Puff the magic dragon'??!
