Folk Jokes
Having a sense of humor is important. Let’s face it, it takes a lot of work to do this thing we call “playing.” We slave 23 hours a day for that 60 minutes of satisfaction standing on stage in front of a wonderful audience. A good laugh among good friends is part of the arts. If you have a folk-joke pass it on. MJ collects them and uses many on the WoodSongs broadcast and in concert. Send an email to: michael@woodsongs.com
