Thread Name: Singing Affectation?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Singing Affectation?
all I know is, I feel so strongly about this music that I would rather be in even the most atrocious folk clubs where someone needs the words written down of Take me Home Country Roads - or even worse where some idiot has appointed himself a sort of magistrate of the folk tradition and reads the Ballad of Tam Lin from his loose leaf folder in a way that would enetertain or enlighten no one; than most other places.

You never know - these are the places where folk music happens. Where people with all their limitations are trying to make it happen, and that, as I say, is worthy of respect.
