>From my experience this is something very typical here in Germany,after living in america where being crazy is not a sin:-)at first here it was hard to perform in a new place where expression is less obvious and not know if they like what you are doing or not.But then after observing how everyone dares to dance and smile when somebody starts it,well it was sort of a relief! Yesterday i played a gig at an irish pub playing covers and using loops and although i was playing accesible stuff the crazy loop thing was for a lot of people new.There were people coming in and staying and there were people peaking around and moving on to the next bar.I felt really good to hear people come after the show and hear positive feedback,but after getting paid the bar owner said he'd probably stop doing solo and duo shows because he doesnt want people to peak around and move on to the next bar, but he wants them all walking inside drinking and staying,which is the case when people hear a whole band making big noise he said... Although we are musicians who believe in ourselves and our personal taste,reality starts being different when you deal with bar owners who hire you.Unfortunately even here its getting harder and harder to play in places where we can please our ego and get paid for it... I think we all strive to do the best we can and the need for acceptance and attention is in our human nature.My kids are proof of it...
