Thread Name: Do you need to *believe* what you sing?
Subject: RE: Do you need to *believe* what you sing?
No. I do not. I am of the opinion that performance is somewhat akin to acting, and the genius dwells in being believable. However, it is much easier to be believable, when some part of your own experiences in life coincide with the gist of a song... and it could be any point of view contained in the song... This may be one of the *big* differences between Singer/songwriters and folksingers... Idontknow...whatdoyouthink? ttr
