Answer to Bob Coltman,

I, for one, think you are completly correct. For many years, I was a singer of ONLY traditional folk songs, which for me meant two things: the song had to be at least 100 years old and the author had to be unknown. While I built up a huge repitore, I began to find my self imposed limits stiflying.

Then along came the likes of John Denver, yourself, and many other song writers that attracted my attention because of the excellence of their material. I soon had to change my (expand) my personal limits.

I think your point of the "SOLO" performer is excatly correct. Thanks for your thoughtful posting. Bob Nelson
