When the band members stopped stepping down off the stages at breaks to pay 
respect to the audience that pays them to be up there in the first place one 
way or the other, they started losing their audiences and their gigs and the 
venues also closed due to lack of enough business to support the place and or 
the 
bands they hired.

How right you are, Tom.  Not only is it good business to say hello to the 
fans who paid the admissions to see you, but you never know, as you stated, when 
another gig will come in.
Besides, I love hanging with the fans.  They are great people.
