Thread Name: Why reject the term 'source singer'?
Subject: RE: Why reject the term 'source singer'?
To my mind, it is a term which suggests immense respect - and a value which comes from rarity. I would love to be described in such a way, but it isn't going to happen. It suggests not only a long term involvement in the singing of traditional material, but an integrity of situation with that material - ie to have been brought up with that being part of your environment.
