Subject: RE: Folk Club Manners
Thank god I go to a friendly club. where applase is appreciated. We are strict on noise has I stated we ring a bell if someone is trying to start and noise is still going on .Its better then loads of folk hollering out QUIET and Shut up which only adds to the Par-larva.

I tried a new Woodie guthrie song at the last meet and I sung with head bowled down and it was ok but I forgot the last verse which I had written down but forgot to remove from under the four pack before I started. But I got a round of applause which I was happy with.

It was a singaround so I was confident but to hastey in regards to preparation before I started. Funny I played it perfectly scores of times in front of the Cat before I left home that evening. At the singaounds I flatly refuse to partisipate first time stick comes round and thats common for me both at the club and at Knockholt. But that my choosing and no one minds.

Then the stick comes around again 2nd time I try a new song which is not always perfect. Then IF the stick comes around again I do a Dylan number which I have to perfection has far has perfection goes with me and I sing with my head up high and bellow out has tuneful has I can.
