Thread Name: Where Do You Draw the Line?
Subject: RE: Where Do You Draw the Line?
I don't draw the line. When I get confronted with a song I didn`t knew, I listen to my belly. If there is a chord strung inside, if I get touched, if I feel I will be able to tell something by performing this song, I will do it. Be it medieval, "classical" or a pop song by madonna. Who cares? I do nashville songs, I do ancient ballads from dusty books, I do songs I heard at the campfire. If I want to sing a song, I must transform it into something coming from my heart. In the end the audience should have the feeling that I told them what I had to tell, allthough they knew the words allready.
