Sing, Dammt!

[farrandy]

So yesterday, I went to the Scottish festival here in Tulsa, mainly because for the price of admission (note: do not buy your tickets online; they add on a $2.00 "service charge" which gets you nothing. Just pay at the gate) you can listen to a lot of live music

When I play I always want the crowd to sing along, and they rarely do. :/

The time I was most sad about something like this, I went to a Weird Al concert, when they flashed the lights on the audience for the response, they all just looked confused. It made me want to explain how things like that work. :/

I'm wondering if it's a geographical thing, or people just aren't sure of the etiquette? (Granted, if the band asks, you shouldn't hesitate.)

oh gosh, I sing Weird Al songs at work...LOL The fact that we have Cuisinarts floating around doesn't hurt any either, for prompts. XD I'd really love to see him in concert, but pretty much EVERY TIME [much like Elton John..:P] I hear about it AFTER THE FACT, that he's been anywhere near me

....wheras by contrast I'd rather see the hairy guys in kilts than the bonnie lasses....^_^

I needs to find me a festival to go to, haven't been to one in more years than I care to think about. :(

I am one of those that sings along whether or *not* the band encourages me to do so, if I know the lyrics. XD I think it's silly not to at a concert of any type, I've yet to go to one quiet enough that the band itself isn't drowning out pretty much everyone [which is going to happen when your stuff has to be loud enough for an entire auditorium to be able to hear well. XD], so it's not like the person next to me is going to be complaining that they can't hear the band. XD
