[Dixielandjazz] Making Love To The Audience

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

I agree with what Larry is saying with one exception.  That's the  stuff 
about saxophone being the most sensuous, etc., except for possibly  the violin.  
Apparently we all respond differently to different instruments  but it is rare 
for a violinist to be the best at reaching my emotions or  chemicals.  
Actually cello and string bass are much better if we're talking  strings.  No, I've 
not heard cello playing Dixie, but there are string bass  musicians that can 
make me swoon.  If we're talking horns or piano, any of  you guys have the 
potential of doing that.  I believe it's been said  before, it is not the 
instrument.  It is the way one uses it.
 
Wonder if women are more susceptible to music turning them on or turning  
them off?  I remember a Dixie leader friend of mine talking about college  
student audiences for his band.  He said something to the effect of the  guys not 
knowing what to think of a trad band at dances but the gals  were really digging 
it and pretty soon the guys were digging it because they  were digging their 
girlfriends responses to it.
 
Just thought since we were already into a brouhaha on this topic, some  
witchy female might as well jump in and stir the brew.

What we  do as musicians is act as a intermediary between men and women.  We  
put them into the mood and put the right words into their mind and mouth.  
They sing along with us as they dance and are holding someone  close.
