Lani Lei is on right now, nice voice - singing into her headset mic, but her background music is not playing.

Kurt- is also live, and he has a decent mix going and some nice woody sounding fingerpicking acoustic guitar.

What I'm wondering - what benefit does this have over simply recording videos for playback on YouTube?

Here comes his first transition - flipping through sheet music while the drum machine and 4 chord sequence goes on and on.....noodling, noodling....

This has been going on about 5 minutes - same chord sequence, and the words 'frozen generation, we are', repeated ad nauseum. This guy is clearly trying to write this song live in front of his online audience.

Is this typical?
