Thread Name: Why live music?
Subject: RE: Why live music?
I use to play on the patio of a seafood restaurant. Folks would hang out there while waiting for a table. One night there was a family there with a little girl, about eight or so and it was her birthday. I did a song for her using the old Shady Grove song and substituting Mary Anne for Shady grove. (the child's name)... "wish I had a fine while horse and corn to feed him on, wish I had little Mary Ann to feed him when I'm gone..." Every time I sang her name her eyes lit up; her parents were thrilled and I was pretty happy myself. My case for live music.
