[Dixielandjazz] Making Love To The Audience

[macjazz]

I don't know anything of the kind.

If that is what you "know" then I feel fairly sorry for you.

Everything we do (on stage or on this or other lists) is built on 
communication.  That is what he is discussing and that is what I and most of 
the others responded to.  The posts on screwing are the ones on the guys not 
getting paid for their gigs.

>> Can you not see the irony of your statement about sexual overtones that

>> that contains much more explicit sexual overtones than my description.

>> Regarding you essay on audience reaction, I enjoyed it and believe

>>
>> For example, in club dates, with young audiences, we tell them about the

>> completely out of character for Whiteman. It is a true story.
>>
>> Jazz and sex have always been linked. Sex is what helped popularize it,
