Sometimes unwanted "audience participation" is just as bad as people talking during a show.

There is nothing more annoying than someone sitting next to you singing off-key. There is always two sides to every story! Richard Shindell cranky? I've seen him several times and never appeared cranky to me. I have noticed that Richard and Lucy seem to get annoyed at the sound quality at some shows....but who could blame them.

As an example, when Steve Earle sings "I Ain't Never Saisfied," at least in Chicago, he expects everyone to sing along on the chorus, and he always comments on how cool it sounds. Admittedly, you don't want to sit or stand next to someone who knows the word to every song, and sings along to every song, whether on key or not! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2002 17:31:55 -0700 (PDT) From: Libby Wiebel Subject: [lucy-list] Singing Along (was Re: Cranky) **hanging her head** I have to admit... I'm one of those singer-along-ers... BUT... I've learned an all important skill... to control myself so that no sound comes out of my mouth... unless the artist is expecting to have you sing along. Ahhhh... the lip sync... :) I totally understand how it is annoying to others to pay for a concert... and only hear your "neighbor" and not the artist! Along those lines... I had college roommates once who used to get aggravated with me... when I had CDs on in our place, I used to sing harmony with the artist... not melody. That drove them batty! I wonder what the artists in general think... we've had some examples pointed out... And sometimes the artists _ask_ you to sing... My guess is that while it makes some "cranky" (where this whole thread started) others might think it's cool because it shows you know their songs... and some lesser known artists really get excited to know that there are real people out there behind the CDs that they've sold! One of my favorite CD autographs is Cosy Sheridan's on my "Grand Design" CD cover (btw... I LOVE this album... wow.... highly recommended)... it says... "Libby... thanks for singing along!" As a side note... I've been on a Cosy Sheridan binge lately... listening to her and Lucy nonstop... and just loving it. If you don't know her music... check her out!! Grand Design and Ant-Hymn are great albums... Well all of them are... but those are good starting points!! And... to get some Lucy content in here somewhere... One of the coolest "sing-alongs" had to be Lucy's Birchmere show, several days after 9/11... She told us all... during "By Way of Sorrow"... to "sing along if you know the words"... And we did... and things just seemed OK for a while. Take care... and when in doubt... just sing in the car! :) Libby - --- Tom Joens wrote: > At the same time, certain songs by performers must be sung > along with by > everyone in the audience.
