The hand-raising bit is new to us. The guy on the electric guitar was polite and followed the rules. I understand electric instruments aren't some folks' cup of tea, but he was playing blues. I have a feeling he easily could have whipped into a frenzied metal solo, but he didn't.

The problem is (and has been) that it's sometimes like pulling teeth to get people to sing or play. We can't blame a person who winds up doing a lot of tunes because others don't jump in.
