Ya know, some of us folkies are getting older. And so are the people listening to us play and sing. As was brought home to me last night by one dearly-loved person, they are't likely to want to SAY why they can't hear us...... it's taken me this long to realize that no matter how well I may be able to hear our mix, or how well-mixed a visiting musican may say our sound is on any given occasion-- that's the wrong standard for more than 50% of the people out front, at the places we've chosen to play.

Kinda humbling to realize that I may need a sound person with BAD ears.

How might this affect your approach?
