Subject: RE: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club
Just a question:
If I sing "So We'll Go No More a-Roving," a poem by Lord Byron that has been set to music for a whole variety of audiences and they all like it very much, then I sing it in a folk club, prefacing it with comments about what it is and where it came from, is it, then, suddenly a "piece of shit?"
And if so, why?
Just curious.
