[Dixielandjazz] Sit or stand

[Madison T]

Hey Jim. That is sort of my concern as well. When we are all sitting, we're
always at the same eye contact level and positioned in a way where everyone
can see me. For me to concentrate on chords, lead, singing and band
direction, I just can't imagine standing and going above and beyond to
entertain as well. I don't know, it just doesn't feel right to me to stand
