Thread Name: Folklore: Leadbelly: Should we sing his songs?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Lead Belly: Should we sing his songs?
I am sure Michael Morris is well able to speak for himself, but albeit the thread is thoroughly tongue in cheek I do not think he is attempting to be "humorous" in the slightest, he is simply making a wry observation, in the wake of the Amazing Grace thread.

If you haven't read the Amazing Grace thread then you have no way of knowing what he is trying to say, and for that reason, Michael, it would in fact have been much more appropriate for you to have posted your opening post on the Amazing Grace thread, where it would have been seen (and appreciated ) in context, rather than starting a new thread where it is bound to be misunderstood by the literal- minded, if not now then further down the line.
