"But your 'verses' are not really folk are they?"...Have a look, DS - you may find I was a folkie before I was a folkie. One thing I am still trying to figure out, frankly, is this: I'm sure I should record my selection of hymns with keyboards set on the "pipe organ" voice/sound, but I'm not sure whether I should record folk songs unaccompanied or the way I practise them - with just the melody played on my keyboard, set to the "piano" voice...? I have, so far, recorded "The Water is Wide" the latter way - and with a tenor-recorder intro.
And some frankness from you, DS - how has your folk-music learning-curve been? Did you learn most of what you now know in your first enthusiastic year or two? Has it levelled-off at all? Has it gone all pear-shaped?!
