Thread Name: Music Etiquette Question -- Blind Spots
Subject: RE: Music Etiquette Question -- Blind Spots
OLD HEBREW PROVERB.. IF A MAN calls you an ass.. you may ignore him, If two men call you an ass, buy a saddle.

I was doing a bluegrass festival a few years ago, and the promoter asked me to sing Old Rover.. a song about a dog. As I introduced it, an old drunk in the front row spelled it out DOG.. then CAT.. so, I stared at him until he realized that I was looking directly at him. When I was sure I had his attention, I said "Go ahead, I'm just waiting for you to get to Chrysanthemum.. He left to loud cheers from the people who wanted to hear the music, not some nit wit drunk.

Say, why wouldn't this make a good thread? Or, has it been done?
