Subject: RE: BS: Ever Happen To You? Jealousy Monsters...
The world is full of that kind of doofus. Get around and find people with whom you can feel comfortable. Now, I must admit that there have been song circles with a few people who just dont get it. They sing off key in no known timing and dont know more than three chords. Then, if I want to do something that stretches my range and forces me to go to an uptown key, they think I'm being a snob. One of my favorite true stories happened in Scotland. I was doing a tour of folk clubs and pubs. At one pub, a man kept asking for Country songs, so, I tried to accomodate him by singing an old Hank Snow song. He loved it, so, I told him that was what I used to do before I went to folk music. He said "Why did you shift?" and before I could answer, a wise guy said "He learned two more chords!" Anyway, when you find yourself in such a situation, either you, or the others are in the wrong place.
