Still as stubborn as ever.   And to top it off, you RUS defenders don't seem to have heard of the concept of mentoring.   If you drive your mentors away, which you do by RUS hymn sings, who will teach tips on playing and singing, put in verses not in "the book", etc.?
As I said, the foundation of any folk community is people who know what they are doing--and are willing to teach and share it.

They will not be attracted by RUS mumbling of the 7th and 8th verses of "This Land is Your Land"--nor will they stay if RUS is the centerpiece of your singaround.

Somehow, I suspect people who don't realize this don't actually sing or play. Who knows, maybe they just spin records.

Though some DJ's--like Dick Spottswood--would back my views to the hilt.
