[Harp-L] re:entertainment



Interesting that we are on the subject of entertainment. The band I'm in is entering the IBC blues competition
to play in Memphis. I read the guidelines this evening. Scoring criteria is 1. blues content, 2. talent, 3. originality and 4. stage presence.


The stage presence guidelines state that playing well isn't enough, you have to put on a show. This category rates how " sellable" the band may be.

So being a talented musician isn't enough even in the blues world. It's all about song and dance and entertained those that hear with their eyes.
Since our bandleader is 6'10 and weights 400lbs maybe we should have him give the judges a lap dance.:)
