Yes, I'm sure we've all had to deal with annoying people, especially those that interrupt you to talk to you while you're playing/singing. As much as I hate it when people do that, I accept that i's going to happen, and I tend to think it just a way that some people actually show their appreciation and acknowledgement of your music.

On another somewhat related point, that's one reason I prefer style play over pre recorded/sequenced tracks when performing live. When someone has the need to speak to you while you are performing, you can at least just kind of vamp and stop singing if necessary.


Actually to most your a DJ in their eyes so coming up and talking no matter what your doing is normal to the majority of audiences in small gigs as you are on the floor at their level for easy access.......you'd have to be on a stage or in a concert venue to alleviate that...otherwise it's requests, chit chat, questions,drunks, drink spills, bumps, & annoyance all night long.


So true Donny. Not much you can do about it and I just kind of roll with it the best I can. I even played at very professional venues places with stages and people will still come up on stage to make request and chit chat...

Lately I've been thinking about putting some kind of rope like they use in the lines at movie theaters around the "stage" area. I don't like people getting in my face breathing on me these days!
