Subject: RE: hosts who think they are IT
What can be done with them or those who make a song twice as long as it needs be? Any suggestions?``

Double your attention span OR, do you carry guns in Britain (qm)




The thing that kills sessions or sing arounds or whatever they are called where you live are idiots who give musicians instructions like `You have three songs.` Then people get uptight when the musician does Child Ballad 64F, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands and The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. An hour and twenty minutes later . . . . Give time slots, ie., 15 minutes or 10 minutes.




Another problem are singers who come into sessions and take them over. Fer crissake, toss them out or tell them time`s up.
