Terry Gillespie: Kathy's Blog

even when I think nothing is going on - tons of stuff is. We booked a couple of more gigs and talked a lot about staging and what works and what doesn't. For instance what worked a long time ago and far away doesn't work now - the times are different and people's tastes change - it has too. And it is our (Terry's) job to provide excellent quality music, creative and fresh every time, seriously, but that is not enough. You also have to engage your audience. Bernie St-Laurent said it best "you have too love your audience". And how is the best way to do that?

First you have to respect your audience but what else? If you have  a moment tell me what you enjoy most from an evening outing.  Not so much dance or duo, but more how you feel at the end of the nite and what happened during the evening to make you feel like that. What are major turn-offs? What times work best, nights, etc. Lay-it on me.  Tell me what you luv and the other thing too!
