It depend s on a few things what I do. If we did the song the set before we say, " Aw gee we just did that last set. To bad you missed it. But ask the folks that were here all about it. They'll tell you we did a great job of it." And then, depending, we may do the song again right then. Depending of the venue. I do the request if I know the song and can do it justice. I won't perform with sheet music so I won't st up a stand and grab a cheat sheet for just one song. It doesn't matter whether I like the song or think its a chestnut, Thats why I was hired. To entertain.If I don't know the song I'll say so and doe something similar if I can think of one. Ofcourse some drunk always assumes because I play banjo that we can do dueling banjos. Those guys I kill where they stand.
