I'm interested Jim ... why did you stop enjoying singing? I can understand if you stopped enjoying singing in public because the venues and/or audience did not meet the exacting standards that you have spoken about earlier in the thread, but that would not be the same as just 'not enjoying singing'. I think I might stop enjoying singing if I worried too much about getting it wrong, or sullying the legacy of traditional song, but whilst I try do put as much thought and time into my singing as time allows, I also try never to lose sight of the fact that I started out singing because I enjoyed it so much, and not only should that still be part of myown motivation, but it is also something I would hate to rob other people of by being too (prematurely?) prescriptive or critical.
