Thread Name: Do you sing from Memory?
Subject: RE: Do you sing from Memory?
If this is supposed to be all about "the people, singing the people's music, in the people's voices" why are some of you setting ridiculous and arbitrary rules about what is acceptable?
Better singers than any here use crib sheets. Better musicians than any here read from music. Better entertainers than any here break all your "rules". The thing is that song circles and singing sessions are not about being "better", they are about sharing and having fun. Let's stop excluding people and abusing them because they need a little bit of prompting.
