In past performances at a bookstore, I've wondered if I should ask people to hold their applause-for two reasons: because of the quietness the atmosphere of a bookstore requires, and because it makes me uncomfortable for some reason to put people in a position where they have to respond with good manners to something I've done, be it good or mediocre. I just think I would like to just play one song after another without haveing the audience have to respond. Now, would people think this was a weird request?
