Re: [Harp-L] Re: death of live music?

Every once in a while somebody  will talk me into going with them to a 
karaoke thing for support of their  singing. I'll take along an F, C, and an A harp 
and when talked into singing I  will play "If you wanna get to heaven" Long 
train runnin', or Train Train. There  are others, if you look for them. My point 
is whenever I do this the room always  wakes up big time and I tend to 
believe that a few of them will go out to see a  blues band or harmonica laced band 
after that. Sometimes it's kind of nice to  not deal with a drummer with the 3 
D syndrome (drunk, drummers, drag) or volume  wars or what have you. Don't 
get me wrong now, bands are really the only way to  flow, but sometimes I do 
this anyway.

The DJ  & karaoke thing is the cheap and easy way out.
In most areas there are  a few clubs that "get it" and do what it takes to
hire and promote good  shows but they are. as we have been discussing. far
and few  between.
