This is an audience comment, but I always give money to musicians who go against the tempo of the place -- like doing slow songs when everyone is rushing. It reminds me that music is different, and that the people doing it are not part of the rat race. I am sure that standard advice is probably to do things that are flashy and speedy, but that never works for me -- especially accordion players. A slow accordion player will stop me every time; a fast one is like wallpaper.

But that is just me.

yours,
