| Thank you very much for the input, it is greatly appreciated.
I am going to re-read your post numerous times, to be sure.
Just to clarify for you or anyone else, I wasn't implying that the audience necessarily needs to be "educated" just for the sake of letting them know that you're smart, but that if one wants to program songs that aren't popular or already accepted by general audiences, perhaps it is our job to tell them why it is worth their time and listening efforts to give full attention to new and perhaps unconventional music.
How can we expect someone who has never been exposed to a particular kind of music and who hasn't lived with it as much as we have as performers to appreciate it or dare I say, even like it!
Thanks for the input. |
