GUEST,Guest John Hartford Requests from the Audience (54* d) RE: Requests from the Audience 01 Oct 09


Hi Jerry,

I agree with you entirely. If requests come politely and sincerely then I do everything possible to satisfy the request.

I find that usually ( but not always ) the number being requested is one that we have been seen to do and usually they are audience favourites.

Of course you can get the clever b...... who tries to request something unknown by everyone but him(her)self but I usually deal with these by asking for the lyrics and tune to be written down by the requestor...

Only once has this happened to us and we had to apologise that it wasn't something that we felt happy about doing.

On the positive side people requesting songs/numbers can be a great pick-me-up and confidence builder. As such it is something that we try to encourage.

Regards

John
