>you hope it will effect people a certain way.
***Of course you hope it will affect people...But you can't EXPECT it will
or EXPECT people to stand in awe of the performer. If people who come to
listen to it are being really annoying then maybe the real reason is that
the music isn't that great. Many people on this list seem to expect the
audience praying at the stage and seem to get offended if people actually
enjoy each other's company.
quoted 1 line music is communication.
>music is communication.
****YES, AND communication goes both ways. Its not just you talking to the
audience its also the audience responding. Maybe people don't like the
music and they talk louder...maybe they're dancing and laughing...maybe they
enjoy the music and they are discussing it with their friends.
quoted 3 lines if i were talking

***I would hope you wouldn't talk to me for an hour or two and NOT let me
communicate with you ;)

****That's EXACTLY how I feel.
quoted 2 lines who doesn't crave attention. i don't make music to
>who doesn't crave attention. i don't make music to
>be ignored... who does?
***I don't make music because I crave attention, I do it because its fun
and if I ever play it live that's great if not then I'll put it on a cd and
play it in the car. If someone likes it of course it feels great to connect
but I would never dream of telling someone to 'shut up and listen'.
Another thing to look at is...if the majority of people seem bored and feel
compelled to talk over the music then maybe the music is to blame. Not the
people.
