ha, yes they tell you what you want to hear...or what they think will make you feel good...if you want the truth you better ask for it...even then it is not a guarantee...when its a show...
"If it works out they applaud; if it doesn't they still do." It's when they stop that you have to start to worry. And I don't think you'll ever reach that point, Rall.
Curiously with the many concerts I have been to I have considered that it is just me that the performers are playing to and applaud accordingly. There might be a crowd, but music is so personal that what others think makes little difference to my appreciation of it.
Applause is deserved. Just getting on the stage is a big ask, though for the money involved people want some substance. The flip side is the push for standing applause where it is not warranted. It takes some resolve to remain seating.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the nature of the applause is the key.. this one is hearty.. jae ;)
ReplyDeletethat maybe true but you can tell the difference between the two applauses.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing in the world for a performer to hear........polite applause!

But there's a world of difference in the nature of the applause.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the words, but what a nervous sounding song.
thank you for the beautiful musical treat, as well as your lyrical poem.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased you enjoyed this Paige. Very few people seem to like classical music so it's always a nice surprise when someone comments on the music.
ReplyDeleteAlso thankyou everyone else for your comments.

ReplyDeleteLunch?
Yes it does...once a few stand up the others follow thinking this must have been really good!
ReplyDeleteWhen they shrink the Hume highway from 600kms to 6:)
That's the effect of canned laughter on TV & movies too.
