The mismatched venue thread clicked in a few memories. I remember years ago at The Winnipeg folk Festival, Michael Cooney started off his set with a long winded, slow version of "Home on The Range" and totally misread the mood of his audience who tried endlessly to boo him offstage. Myself being a fan of Michael's repetoire- I was shocked as to the atmosphere that was building with every verse and chorus. He made it through the whole song barely alive, and soon redeemed and endeered himself with some better choices. I know that at some of my gigs - there have been a few times when I should have been bood offstage.
