Subject: RE: Suffering from ' Eclectile Dysfunction'
This is not going to happen, it's a long way to come to your place on a motorbike! But if I were trying to get a gig at your event, I'd send a demo with the folk songs in my repertoire on it. That would not be the same demo I'd send to a Country Club, or a Rock night or a Songwriters' session. That's what I mean by having eclectic tastes in music. Whether I actually performed any crossover songs on the night would depend on audience reaction. Scoville says "My college roommates insisted that Ani, the Indigo Girls, and Dar Williams were all folk" Imagine what Jazz enthusiasts think about the material that gets labelled Smooth Jazz these days! As for R&B - no rhythm, no blues. These are the real redefiners- desperately uninformed music journalists! Cheers Dave Cheers
