I thought that folk music was supposed to be fun.

I think the problems that some of you all have with clubs dying or standards falling off, or whatever, come from the fact that you've forgotten that it isn't about your one sense that" I know by now (age 64) whether I'm performing it to a reasonable standard or not!", it is about singing together, playing together, and having fun together.

I'd rather hear someone forget lines, drop the beat on the guitar, and miss 3/4 of the notes and is having a good time, than some "competent singer and musician" who rolls through a polished rendition of the same old same old.
