Re: [Harp-L] Super Loud Bands

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

Not really addressing the question, but an interesting comment - 
 
I'm interested in what the players that DO enjoy it find in the way of  
musicianship, synergy between players, relating to each other and the audience, 
 etc. Those that seem to enjoy it also seem to enjoy playing super loud 
MOST  if not ALL night. There have been times when it appeared that the band 
was  really digging it super loud at the same time the audience was sitting 
with  fingers in their ears and eventually walking out. I could never figure 
this one  out..
 
There is no contrast that says it is either super loud OR super quietly. It 
 isn't an either/or. One can play with tons of energy and very impressive 
power  without resorting to being super loud.

Nothing to explain, is my guess.  "different strokes for  different folks". 
The people that DO enjoy what you are describing would  probably ask "Where 
is the fun in playing super quietly? Where is the  energy? The power?".
