I had fun with Bill Ritter and Joe Maddox tonight, even if the crowd didn't. We played a powerful two-hour show, and over eight people applauded! I am moving to the Austin, Texas area soon, and it will be very interesting to see the difference in the crowds. Indianapolis seems to be unhappy, musically speaking, which is too bad. I'm always ready to perform and try to share joy with the crowd, but the crowd in this area seems to have developed some sort of "joy repellent". Don't get me wrong, not everyone shares this distaste for our musical exploitations, but distain is infectious. I guess I'll just keep trying until someone is happy besides me...
