No, no, no, no,no,no,no Dave. You asked what others reasons there are that people don't do "uncool" songs. Ego is certainly one of them. I didn't mean you. 'SFar as I know you are not at all an egotistical person. There was a time in my life when I would have avoided certain songs because I thought that I wouldn't look good performing them. My ego. When most of us start out as a performers, we're insecure enough that we don't do songs that we feel might make us look bad. Some of that is healthy... a recognition of the audience and their taste. But some of it is fragile ego. As the years go by, most of us realize that we are pretty much who we are, and there's no need to try to impress anyone, our present ourselves as someone we aren't. The "cool" becomes irrelevant.

A reminder... I started this thread because of a workshop I was in. I thought it was a good reminder that a good song is a good song, and there's no sense in trying to appear cool.

Either you got it or you don't got it, baby!
