[Dixielandjazz] Making Love To The Audience

[Thad McArthur]

Bob's statement is a little too inclusive and there may be a little room for 
romance between his two terms, but your choice of "making love to your 
audience" certainly lowers the tone of the performer-audience relationship 
to a point that is too intimate, a little squeamish and does nothing raise 
the stature of our art.
