Have seen Bill Clause lead singalongs. I thought it was natural that there’d be an audience filled w people who knew the words at the 1-10 pm Foolkiller event last Saturday. I didn’t expect to hear the large audience last night singalong at Fringe Teasers.
Give yourself the gift of hearing and maybe the contagiousness (like last night) of joining in the “free the spirit” singing. With that many people sharing, you’ll have good fun even if you sometimes sound like a frog (like me). 😃
Too bad this is a one time only show during Fringe.
A great deal of fun and educational!
Really fun to learn the history *and* *CONTEXT* of a lot of the folk songs we still know today. I was blown away by the context of “Michael Row Your Boat Ashore,” a simple song I remember singing often as a child and having NO idea of its history (especially knowing know the circumstances of how it was eventually recorded). Really makes you wonder what other songs we’ve since lost, just because others couldn’t record them or simply didn’t think it was “worth it” to do so. This one-off event was a great way to start our Saturday Fringe 🙂
The songs are of my history so I found it fun. Always fun to sing along.
The show went over which caused me problems getting to next show. They allowed a person to read a poem which made the show run over. The performers need to watch their time more closely.
