jim carroll;you wrote[laughter or amusement is desirable if the singer is singing a humorous song,but the job of a singer is to communicate the song not present a caberet act].
does it not occur to you, that you are telling singers what to do.
now I am sure your comments were not aimed at me specifically, But as a singer I can,t help but be included.
The three occasions people have tried to tell me what i should do.
1. a feminist from the socialist workers party,objecting to me singing,The Bald Headed End OftheBroom.
2.quorn club[ no political songs please,]Dick.
3.oxfordshire club[your not here to entertain but sing songs][[Istill managed 7 songs in the first set]]
4 a club in the midlands [I was harangued for singing The Coasts of Peru]because it was a Whaling song.
Jim, I would not dare to tell you how to collect songs.
