“A professional entertainer who allows himself to become known as a singer of folk songs is bound to have trouble with his conscience provided, of course, that he possesses one. As a performing artist, he will pride himself on timing and other techniques designed to keep the audience in his control ... his respect for genuine folklore reminds him that these changes, and these techniques, may give the audience a false picture of folk music.” GivingMayArtistSongCoursesKnownAudienceTroublePrideConscienceBoundsFolksTechniqueSingersGenuinePerformingTimingEntertainersFolkloreFolk MusicPerforming ArtsFolk SongsPerforming Artist Author:Sam Hinton
“Carol Burnett probably had the biggest influence on me as kid. Although I was very young and watched her a lot in reruns, I was mesmerized by the way she transformed, by her physical comedy and the rolling laughter from the live studio audience.

“I just play to progressive audiences. You know, if they're watching Discovery Channel, History Channel, that kind of thing, "Monty Python" have already laid the groundwork. They're known around the world. People like that kind of surrealist, left-field humor, and that's what I do. And "Saturday Night Live," a lot of American humor. "The Simpsons," above all, the weird, left-field humor, which I love. And sardonic. So that's all I'm doing. I find that audience, and they're in every developed country around the world.” PeopleIfsKnowsWorldKindCountryPlayNightLeftKnownAudienceFieldsDiscoveryAround The WorldProgressiveSaturdaySaturday NightSaturday Night LivePythonDeveloped CountryMontySurrealistGroundworkSardonicLeft Field Author:Eddie Izzard

“Usually it's just material that resonates with me and I never know exactly what that's gonna be. And there's obviously a certain persuasion, if you will. It's dependent upon the fact that I'm known for certain genres. So, that influences my decision making as well. I mean I'd love to, for example, do an action thriller but there are a lot of very talented people doing that and so it would be very difficult for me to switch over to that genre.
