Subject: When your group disagrees wth you...
i'm not sure of the spelling, but is anyone familiar with the 'Weela Wallia' song?

i attempted to perform this song (a clancy brothers favorite) at an after hours jam (public had gone home to beds) and was censored by a gently soul there.

to tell you the truth, i felt as though my rights had been violated. i shut up and was unable to contribute any more that night. censorship is very ugly.

songs are written from pain as often as not, and the way the irish deal (in song) with pain is legitimate in any form it needs to take.

try to understand that the way some people act may be EVEN MORE appropriate for them than the way you feel you should act or react out of your doctrines.

can i have your thoughts on this subject?
