Dan,

Well put Bob, actually when I listen to live music I hear evey individual musician on the Stage (when maybe not with some of the bigger bands - my son's marching band has over 200 plus), but you get my point. I have ofter approached the drummer or bass player of backing keyboardist following a session to point out that I "heard" them - and it was cool.




That's because you aren't a "casual listener". You're a musician.

I also try to look past the "cutie" or the "hunk" holding the microphone and tell the MUSICIANS I appreciate their playing.

It's surprising how they "light up" when they realize that someone noticed them and appreciated their efforts.
