Ron Davies--

I'm glad I wasn't at your New Years Eve party--sound like no one knew anything that had more than three chords--

And, with the exception of "White Christmas", put all those songs together and you still wouldn't have had one good melody--

And nothing with any beat to it, let alone any swing. Even cockroaches die on a diet of white bread--

Any decent guitarist would have left the room screaming after five minutes.

And to use the words "serious music" any where near the words "autoharp" and "ukulele", well...

And I'm sorry, but where does folk music come in? Anyone who knew or loved folk music would have spent the evening vomiting in the bathroom.

And I'm sorry, but you where was the real Hawai'ian music?--there's a ton of of good Hawaiian music out there, and all you know is one racially offensive John Prine song--Next you're going to be singing, "I'm Kumonawannalaya"--

Maybe the reason that "talented" people don't go to FSGW events anymore is that they were weirded out because you were obsessed with their feet--

And speaking of FSGW, maybe people just got tired of hearing the same songs that they'd been hearing since the year one-

Sung by people who hadn't changed their clothes since the year one-

But seriously, I've seen better dressed people begging for drug money at the bus station-

Do you want to know why people started using Rise Up Singing at folk events?

Cause finally, someone said, "If I I hear "Mattie Groves" one more time, you'll end up like Mattie Groves."

Badda-bing.


All in meant in good fun, of course--and submitted just to show that no matter how good you are, someone can find something to take a shot at, if they have a mind to--without even mentioning Neville Chamberlain.
