I used to think that from the strange reaction in some faces at weddings when we played our introductory number, but now I think that the problem goes deeper than that, Chris. I now think that there are huge numbers of people out there who don't have any live music in their lives and don't know how to react when they experience it.
It took decades for me - a live music junkie who needs a fix several times a week - to work that one out.
