Thread Name: Audience participation? OK?
Subject: RE: Audience participation? OK?
Contrary to popular belief, even the so-called 'unmusical' and 'dour' people of Northern Germany or Scotland will sing along given the right encouragement. To me and a lot of others it is the biggest part of the fun. Only once did I find a woman (from Bavaria) who consistently refused to sing along. When I asked her whether she thought she couldn't sing she said: "I paid to hear the performer, not to do half the work myself!" Everyone I've told that story to thought that attitude extremely weird. - Susanne
