The next time you play to a full house, think about the following quote:

Winston Churchill was once asked, "Doesn't it thrill you to know that when you make
a speech, the hall is packed to overflowing?"
"It's quite flattering," replied Sir Winston.  "But whenever I feel that way, I always
remember that if instead of making a political speech I was being hanged, the crowd
would be twice as big."
- Norman McGowan, My Years With Winston Churchill) (Souvenir Press, London)
