RE: Busking Online - Musicians Taking Music Off The Streets To Create Online Tip Jars
Cool! I will check that out. Thanks for sharing it. That's amazing that a live performance given in an empty venue could perform so well online. Makes you want to record every performance, right?
I sure wish these online apps were around when I was touring but then again I'm grateful that Facebook and YouTube were not invented yet when I was doing that.
There would be a lot of incriminating evidence against us if they were around when we were touring. We were a crazy, partying, rock and roll band. Let's just say I'm not going to be running for office anytime soon. The dirt would crawl out of the woodwork if I ever did,
If performing online has taught me anything, it's that a person can't always trust their local region as a gauge of how well-received their music is. The internet likes my music a hell of a lot more than Springfield, MO. 😂
Isn't that the truth. What I learned from touring all over the US is that each area is different in the way they react to your music. In San Francisco people would get on the dance floor and dance, but in Los Angelos, it was not cool to dance when seeing a band. The only way we knew they liked us is they would actually look at you and nod their head. That is LA speak for I like your band.
To each their own I suppose. We had fans that followed us on the road and in some venues they would be the only people dancing. Some cities just don't dance to live bands. Sad but true.
Ha ha, you are doubtless not alone with that policy @luzcypher 🙉🙈🙊😉
