There are performers and there are entertainers. I prefer to be an entertainer. A good friend of mine is an outstanding performer. He prefers to have the house totally dark so he cant see anyone. I like to be able to see the first three or four rows, and involve them like I would in my living room. Or theirs. You should see Ken Hicks in person. He is a master at this. Maybe you dont know the name, but, he wrote "This is a song for all the good people". It's on the Folk Legacy reunion CD, sung by our own Sandy Paton.
