Thread Name: Folk Singer v Entertainer
Subject: RE: Folk Singer v Entertainer
Me??? If I don't entertain then guess what??? The phone doesn't ring... Entertain first and foremost or risk sittin' around playing for yourself... Now if you are that talented you might get by on strictly on your music but I wouldn't bank on it...

I'm a blues player and I talk a lot of shit between songs... I mean, stories, jokes, anything that will engage the audience...

"After tonight I ain't gonna drink no more... (PAUSE)... Unless I'm by myself or with someone"...

Next song...

B~

p.s. stole that one off R.L.Burnside...
