SWB,
Even as a young singer...like myself...you make some very valid points. I mentioned to a friend of mine today that all these "rules" (which are really more like life lessons) should be characterized as general life behaviors...just another reminder of how to behave one's self. Like you said...different areas/regions...folks do it differently. Soooooooooo...when in Rome, do as in Rome & BE HUMBLE about it!

That's another thing I was taught that, being around that drum, how you act, the protocol of events, how things go on, why these things happen, what are the effects of these songs, they don't just stop at the dance. The way you carry on at that drum, is how you should live your life. NOT saying that you can't do what you want, more that theres a time and a place. You should use your behavior at the drum, as a guidline to how you want to live outside of powwows. Always have fun, but also take care of business. There's a time and place for everything. Nobody's perfect. Not one person on this earth is. But that shouldn't be an excuse. It never hurts to be humble. ESPECIALLY, when someone is trying to argue with you..off subject.
Another thing I've noticed with singers nowadayz(not that I'm even old still a teen HA) is that nobody has any faith. Everybody wants to take 15 people to sing, then whyne about being broke. I think it's kinda insecure. I have seen groups with 5 people make the most beautiful music and afford to go to the powwow next weekend.. Faith though, what most singers fail to realize is, that your not gonna just come out and make money. That's all wrong. You wont make any money period with that attitude..Go with just enough money to support yourself for the weekend. Just take that grandpa and have faith..EVERYTHING is always alright. Will ALWAYS be allright. As long as you take care of him.well you know the rest. All I'm saying is, you have to sacrifice a little bit in order to do what you want. Bottom line..
OK now class dismissed.. now that ima teenage college professor
