From: Sorcha I have just sat down here at the 'puter after a 2 hr impromptu session of singing in my living room by TEENAGERS!!! Wow! So, it wasn't all "folk/blues" but some of it was. Had a young man actually playing my piano, 6 others singing pop/rock/Beatles/Hits etc. for 2 HOURS! What fun! Maybe I am winning after all. Daughter Kate did her House of the Rising Sun. Brought the House down, and the session just died. Nobody would try to top it, but it was GREAT!!! Thank you all for being here so I could share this with somebody! |

But I had to learn an Avril Lavigne song for my daughter, and the first tabbing I've ever tried to post was the Paul Simon tune from Wild Thornberries she wanted me to learn. A sleepover tomorrow night--who knows, maybe some singing? An ethical dilemma though is whether I actually have to learn an Nsync song for my boy, in fairness. Or can I try to steer him? |

We had a similar experience at Tenterden Festival earlier this month. At the final singaround on Sunday evening a couple of young lads in their teens turned up with guitar and asked if they could sing. "It's not really folk" they said. "Don't worry – sing" said Kathy Drage. They did, and they were great. Self-penned songs, sung in a modern idiom, and they were a pleasure to listen to. Kathy summed it up afterwards, saying "I thought you said it wasn't really folk?" Amen!! The other side of the coin was seen on Saturday in the High Street. A large crowd were watching the Appalachian dancers, when along came a teenager with regulation white baseball cap and earpiece. As he passed by he didn't even give a sideways glance. If he'd looked round and sneered it would have been something, but no – nothing. I thought that was so sad – he seemed so preoccupied with himself. Still, as long as there are some like the lads at the Sunday singaround the baseball caps will not prevail. |

From: open mike a heart warming story from last night concert: Holly Near, Cris Willimson and John Bucchino played, enthralled, inspired, and educated us! The opening act was a young woman who sang the song Holly Near wrote "The Great Peace March" I had been on a peace march (against nuclear testing) years ago when she was a small tyke. She had p[erformed the song a couple of weeks ago at a coffee house with Darrel Purpose, who walked across the country for peace. This young gal was so inspiring and it must have been great for her to sing the song for Holly! If the song is not in the D.T. I will add it! |
