Thread Name: Singer-Songwriters: A Defence.
Subject: RE: Singer-Songwriters: A Defence.
Ain't never heard a Singer Songwriter saying that all Folk Singers are shite, incompetant prats who couldn't entertain an audience in a month of Saturday evenings..

But then, that's Singer Songwriters for you...

They know that they're The Tradition through and through, being that the very peasant wot ever hummed a few notes, then put words to it, was the very first singer songwriter.....

Of course, Poor Peasant would have a fit if he thought his song woz being sung in hallowed halls for hallowed ears....and besides, were he zoomed back into the days of today, he'd be out there in the pubs listening to the singer songwriters and having a whale of a time!

T'aint Singer Songwriters who are up their own holes, for sure...........
