Lou Gottlieb, of the Limeliters, once described to an audience the reaction to a previous performance: "We were modestly successful; which is to say that the audience rarely left - in groups."

A member of another group used this one after a particularly arduous session of multi-instrument tuning: "When I get this thing tuned, I'm having it welded!"

My personal favorite for talky folk: "Dammit! Don't talk while I'm interrupting!"

We would like to thank the audience for their support of our favorite charity. Part of the proceeds of tonight's performance go into a special fund. Then, we go out and buy beer with it.
