A really good way for your live show to be more fun is if the people know your songs.
No duh.
What’s even more is if the audience not only knows your songs but likes them too.
Knowing and Liking.
Two fantastic ingredients to be working with.
When you have these ingredients (akin to, say, butter and sugar), the likelihood of something good happening is quite high.
Perhaps again, no duh.
But two things…
1. How much time, energy and resources went into securing these tasty ingredients for this show, on this night, with these people, in this city?
It’s silly to complain about not having sugar when you don’t spend money on sugar. It’s also silly to complain that the cookies didn’t come out sweet and tasty if you know there wasn’t any sugar in the recipe to begin with.
2. If you don’t have those two ingredients on hand…what else are you going to create an experience with? What other tools will you summon in order to have a great night?
Butter and sugar are the best. It’s a good idea to have them.
Knowing and Liking are great to work with.
But what about when you don’t have them…
What then?
