Thread Name: Stupid Question: What do I do with folk?
Subject: Stupid Question: What do I do with folk?
Here is a stupid question: What do I do now?

I learned guitar
I learned many songs
I learned to sing with my own accompaniment
I tried to form a group but nobody was interested where I live and everyone dropped out before it began
So I'm a solo act.


I haven't performed in public or private for years (when I knew piano, and did choral work). What Do I do with the songs I have learned? Do I never perform them? Do I just go to the park on sunday and play? Is this normal?

I hear there are 'folk' clubs in some places. I've never seen one. However it seems weird to have to go to some smokey bar to play, and I wonder what the response will be. I have only performed in more formal settings, usually in a group.

Or do I not perform at all?

???????????
