Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
not impressed with what i did....

they never found out

who are your influences?

well i like Ralph McTell

Well I'm sorry, we've got to draw the line somewhere. you can pay to come in, but you're not singing here.

well with difficulty i had got my disabled wife up the stairs. i had also brought my mother and father in law, who were keen supporters of me.
We paid for our tickets and were treated to the biggest most arrogant load of shite, i have ever witnessed. And in lifetime of listening to folksingers, that's saying something.
When i sang and played like that. i stayed at home and practised - in solitude like Sam Larner. you don't become proficient keeping company like that.

i can see where you get all your attitude from though - jim. they really thought they were god'd chosen ones.
