Nowdays, developing a rappore, interacting with your audience, in the appropriate way, depending on the venue, is critical. Give them what they want! You have to be perceptive enough to know what that is. In front of a dance floor it's one thing, in a concert venue it's another.

Bottom line, embrace the technology however you can - make it part of your arsenol and forget about what others are doing. Then give 'em (audience) what you (should) know they want, the right music, the best equipment you can afford, keep developing your chops and technique... and never stop having fun with it!


Very good post and advice Glenn I agree!
