Thread Name: Everytime I try to sing folk songs..
Subject: Everytime I try to sing folk songs..
everytime I try to sing folk songs..

I end up sounding like David Bowie or Anthony Newley..

..or even Al Bowlly


wtf !!!??



try to lapse unselconciously into my born west country regional accent..

try to sing with honest heartfelt raw emotion..

try to forget a lifetimes pop media influence pollution..


even desperately try to emulate Rod Stewart & Noddy Holder style distorted death rattle vocal dynamics..



bollocks..


guess I was born to be a crooner.. !!!??


..and cider makes my voice sound even more mellow !!!



[just tried singing 'Waterloo'.. and annoyed myself by just how weak
and 'sunday school' Ii sound in my own head..]
