Re: how we change after a performance

Author: ron b  Date:   2003-05-27 00:19 Aw, Mark... GBK = superhuman? (I never would have guessed! ) Besides being only human most of us who hang around here are on good terms too, more or less... well, maybe we snarl a bit but we don't seriously bite. In all sincerety though, I don't doubt that GBK is undoubtedly nearer the high peak than the majority of us. GBK, are you talking about playing solo performances, rather than as part of an ensemble? I believe a soloist would have a little more say than a member of a group. Whether to please the 'crowd' or yourself is a hard call. Preferably, in a perfect world, you could do both. By way of contributing an awkward answer: Personally, many, many years ago, playing long-term lounge gigs and such, I found myself often bending more to the audience's wishes than what I preferred to play. In that situation, you play what the customers like and the club manager likes renewing your contract. While not the major reason, it was a strongly contributing reason I decided not to persue music as a 'business'. Post Edited (2003-05-27 00:20)
