Again Don you would exclude the only person left singing a collection of songs just because you did not think they were a good singer.

Shame on you.

I would not exclude better singers I would just have them share the venues. But you would EXCLUDE these people.

Sort of like excluding those who cant buy an over priced beer or making them go out and get better jobs so they could.

We call that elitism, economic segregation, and professional snobbery.

These things hurt the broadening and growth of the tradition
