You be confusing me with someone else. I am the shy modest one.

The best way to deal with people who think they are someone is to ask them to explain who they are. Then get on the radio and ask for confirmation.

Performers who value their audience have to be nice all the time, or earn a different reputation. I think I could take a bit of frustration from a performer, it just depends on what I can deduce about the context.

I well remember an Ozzie who reckoned she would never book Eric Bogle after a rather unpleasant incedent, and yet Mick Holditch asked him questions about his guitar (like one Mick wants to buy) and Eric handed him the guitar and invited him to play it.

Context is all.
