Re: [Harp-L] successful stage case

["G. E. Popenoe" <gpopenoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

You know, I've spent a lot of time considing options that hang on the  
mic stand and decided it would be visually distracting to the audience.

Along those lines, some basic stage craft that I've learned includes  
getting out from behind the mic stand if I am cupping the mic.( off  
the stand).

So often I see performers standing behind a mic stand. Very distracting.
