Best audience response was an old girlfriend. Played and sang her Keelaghan's "I Would I Were." Then I put the guitar away for a while (or should that be "a bit").

Other than that, every audience is great, even the ones in bars I've played to who don't seem to be paying attention. Somebody always is and has a good word for you during the break.

The last good audience was the kids at the Christmas party I was hired to play yesterday. Kids - the only audience in Canada you can depend on to sing along every time to every song, even if they don't know it. And you only need one song.

"Do Rudolph again!"
