[Dixielandjazz] Audiences

[Dan Augustine]

DJMLers--
     Here's a question that occurred to me in regard to the posts 
mentioning "What a Wonderful World" (WWW) and audiences' reaction to 
how it's played.
     I ask because i don't know.  I've only observed audiences in 
Texas and California. You folks who are in bands that play all over 
the country/world might be able to discuss this.
     Basically, are there any regional differences among audiences, 
about what tunes and styles they respond best to?  I'm not talking 
about particular regional song-favorites or festival audiences so 
much as just audiences at street fairs, jazz clubs, state fairs, 
outdoor festivals, etc.  Does (say) an audience in California respond 
differently (e.g., more or less applause) from one in Massachusetts 
or Iowa or England to the same song played the same way?
