Thread Name: A Mockery (BBC Folk Awards 2009)
Subject: RE: A Mockery (BBC Folk Awards 2009)
' An award for the floor singer who managed to stay in tune and remember the words?'

now you're talking....however, is it strictly necessary to remember ALL the words and stay in tune ALL the way through a entire song?

How is the folk process to develop, if we adhere to outmoded standards instituted in the main part by the same buggers who have backed folkmusic into the present cul de sac.

I reserve the right of everyone to forget the words, change the words and sing out of tune. And I think I deserve an award for that.
