Lol. This started as a rant between sets that I decided to take back after the following set because I got 0 responses and it depressed me even more. :-) I don't know how cut out for the cover thing I am anymore. The money helps, but I like doin original music 1000X more. Not sure how people get a rush out of playin covers, but god bless those that do.

I get a rush out of playing covers because I ( and my band) play them a lot better than all the other bands around, and people dig it.

We find reason to complain about the singer.

Grab a beer, talk to people in the crowd or sit and shoot the bull with my drummer.

Unless you have a great following for your band, which I am sure you( Joe Nerve ) probably do. People like to hear songs they know. When you see people recognize the song and see that they really like it and start dancing or wooing, it feels really good that they are enjoying themselves because of you.

I talk to people who are there to see the band and find out what songs they would like to hear, thank them for coming, ask them if they are having a good time, etc. The audience members want to feel special and appreciated. If somebody requests a song we play, I get it into the next set and dedicate it to them. After all, they could go spend their money watching another band.
