Subject: RE: Review: Unaccompanied singing
I have my reservations about
'If a song is interesting, it's hard to damage it.'
To be able to do justice to a song while singing without accompaniment requires above average singing ability.
The first prerequisite is a voice coupled with an ability to sing, preferably in tune
Its not for everyone, in fact sometimes its embarrassing . Apart from the fact you have to know the song thoroughly before launching it upon the unsuspecting ! listener, worse still if its a familiar song and known to the listener who will mentally compare it critically.
Even a certain Irish troupe damaged a well known song composed by one scottish immigrant to the land of Oz .
