MMMMM interesting, the point about ego's running singarounds is a moot one but agree that they tend to die out by people not attending. I do take issue with the repetative bit though, what i have discovered is that people turn up to sessions for a sing but not neccessarily to lead songs so, certainly in the sessions i go to, the non chorus ballads tend to bomb and we are continually asked to do the same old same old because they have learned the chorus and are wanting a sing, see, they are not there to listen to us they have come for a sing, the other stuff we do around our kitchen tables for our own enjoyment. Oh and I am no fan of the going around the room like a clock hand but a more balanced format re styles and content, that requires a dagree of co-operation from all the contributers.
