Mudcat's looking a bit tired.


So, how do you as a singer or musician 'tackle' those classic big long ballads?

I'm *just* starting to cut my teeth on these beasties and they are tough work - not merely fore memorising unending verses, but more for capturing the essence of the tale...

Phew, anyone can sing a pretty little ditty, but these are hard-core!

Ballad anecdotes welcomed! (though no doubt someone will tell me off for not searching out some dessicated thread dead for ten years)
