"I'll lead my life according to me not some book no matter what book."

I'm with you 100% - and everyone has the right to do the same.



"It is not a matter of "sophisticated singing groups" Ron, you keep using that phrase as if we were the elite. "

I have to correct you on that. I don't think I used those words previously, and I only used it because that was what you said in your previous group.

Even still, there is nothing wrong with "elite". I would not expect Derek Jeter to play in a beer league softball game each week. There are some people who need to work to their level with their peer group.

What bother me is that your posts are coming across as if those who do not subscribe to the same type of sessions are involved in a lesser pursuit.   I hope that is not what you mean, because those folks are probably having a good time and should not be made to feel inferior.



" When it's about the book the song has lost all it's value "

But in the grand scheme of things, how often is it really "about" the book?   Sure, you have given us numerous examples of events you came across, but with all due respect, I really feel that your stand on the position is adament and I am not sure you can be subjective. I don't say that to be demeaning - it is just a fact of life in any pursuit where someone has a gift that is of a higher calling that others.
