"As we have a wealth of excelent singers and residents plus regular visitors including such notories as Stanley Accrington. Geoff Higginbottom and Gary and Vera Aspey there is never any question of someone with a poor performance record even wanting to do a floor spot."

Sorry to keep on, but I wanted to explain what really got my back up about this comment. It's the idea that someone wouldn't _want_ to do a floor spot because "excellent" performers, including several people of whom I've never heard, but may be fine people and wonderful performers. Nor do I know what a floor spot is, but I assume it involves performing and I'm sure I could find out without too much trouble. But why on earth should anyone expect that a person wouldn't want to sing his "Jimmy Crack-corn" or his "Big Rock Candy Mountain" just because someone "better" was in the room? That's not what music's about, for me, and certainly not folk music; at least, I'm clinging to the hope that it isn't.
