Thread Name: EFDSS has a YouTube channel
Subject: RE: EFDSS has a YouTube channel
No it isn't Dick. Few of the EFDSS management even sing. It's their job to manage resources.

The point of Sharp et al collecting songs was to provide a reference for people. The job of the EFDSS is to make those references available. In those terms they are already demonstrating how traditional singers sang songs. All people have to do is access the archive. I agree with those who say that better availability of archive contents would be desirable.
incorrect,what has the EFDSS management ability to sing got to do what with anything.
efdss should not be taking a passive role in promoting the refernces available, they should be actively promoting archive material,via the you tube channel with source singers, it is no good expecting people to just access the archives, better availabilty of archive contetns is about promoting it properly, instead of promoting community choirs.
I have no problem with letting people use c#house to do what they think fit with tradtional songs, it is not in my opinion what EFDSS should be projecting as an image via YOU TUBE
