Does no-one on this board sing a song because they like the song?

I'll go further Black Hawk! I never, but never sing a song unless I like it, and I never record or sing for money, any song, unless I LOVE it.

Audiences always know if you have no connection with the songs you sing, and it's the death knell of entertainment when you do that.

Attribution is the key. Always give credit, either to the composer, or to the fact that a song is traditional. Crediting yourself with your own compositions is optional, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If it's any good, someone will usually ask, "Who wrote that?" Much more satisfying!
