"she just didn't feel she was part of the scene"
I went into dozens of 'folk' clubs where I would never have felt comfortable singing any of my repertoire - I certainly would not have felt to be "part of the scene"
That's exactly why I stopped going to them.
If Fred Jordan had gone into Muskett's club he would have seen sat down in front of an electric group and "shown how to do" something he'd been doing for all of his life - "part of the scene" or what?
What's your point Al
