jim, you are also confusing the abilty to teach with the abilty to sing/play well, being a good musician/singer does not mean that the person will be a good teacher.
quote "what little I've heard of your singing doesn't show an outstanding ability on your part to teach anybody anything - rather, you might give them encouragement, no more".
next you refer to my lack of people ability[ you have never met me], yet again you are confused, you are surely talking about what YOU consider is my lack of internet skill[a debatable point, which to me is reminiscent of the pot calling the kettle black], you see I think you lack internet skill, but unlike you I will give some examples, your below the line wrangling with keith a[whenever you are asked to produce evidence you dont, you resort to insults], rather similiar to your last post [where you attempt to denigrate my singing].
here are some facts, jim, I have been singing on a professional basis since 1976, and am employed regularly to do so, in fact recently I was given a t shirt by Stockton folk club, because in 50 years,Iwas the singer that was booked to perform the most.
the difference between you and me Jim, is that I can and do perform and get paid for singing[ and i have the t shirt to prove it, you on the other hand just talk about it.
the only thing you have done in the last 30 years is collect songs[ nothing wrong with that] but it does not mean you have the right to come on here and attack me personally and/ or my singing.
further more you have gone back to your tactics those you use with keith a, of when asked to provide stats or evidence, putting up a smoke screen and using either insults or denigrating the other person.
jim , please answer my question, how does listening to another performer[ my idea of teaching or helping] and helping them to sing clearly[ good diction] eg pointing out any words that are unclear. "often interfere with accent" as you put it.
