I particular approve of the one that requires one to sing a song that contrasts to the one preceding it.
Last night I attended a session where nearly all the performers needed words in front of them and there was little in the way of 'performance'
You had to be a die hard to stick that out
It would have done little to promote 'folk' to the general public, who would prbabaly have ridiculed it and i cant say as i'ld blame them, best behind locked doors really, closeted even.
More like caterpill'rs than butterflies, then thats being cruel to caterpill'rs
I was never totally exclusive at Windward but gave greater consideration to what the paying public would like to hear in the hope they would come again.
I have heard the line
' a ring from her finger she silently drew '
and seen fingers slide back out of gobs!!
