Most folks on here seem to have an attitude about requests, and pick the instances where someone has been out of line to explain it. I think of all the people who tell me they really like a particular song I do, who ask if I would do it. Obviously, calling out a request when you are in the middle of a song is plain old bad manners. Other than that though, I don't see why a respectfully asked request deserves a put down, if the song is one you sing, or might be one you know. If people are paying good money to hear me, I am more than happy to honor requests if it's a song I think I can do justice to.
