where's the line?
- where's the line between stage confidence and arrogance?
- where's the line between showmanship and stage stupidity?
- where's the line between feeling the music and stage antics?
- where's the line between musical integrity and self-absorption?
is there a line?

the line is determined by the listener. The artist usually puts the line way too harsh in regards to his or her peers.

Hmmm. I've read your questions a few times, It's a tough one. I think, make sure you have your own line....Know what I mean?

Baby thinks the line is inside you. If you can't groove, don't groove, don't got the jive, don't jive. If your a riff master, show em how you can riff out. Baby is mostly impressed by sweat, spit and most of all Smiles. If you really look like your having fun. They will have fun too. One of the best shows I have ever seen was The Jon Butcher Axis. This Black guitarist with a great voice who simply had the groove. He treated his guitar like a woman on stage, Caressing it smileing to it spinning around. But all with tact, never too sexual. Baby cried when he moved to Cali from Boston. He was a god onstage. Never Riverdance on stage, he he

scott -
am hearing your point: listener interpretation
Lane & Baby - basically know your own limits, and stay in your comfort zone.
Baby - about Jon Butcher: i have not heard that name uttered in i dont know how long! remember when cassette was THE mobile music. i had jon butcher on cassette - i think WISHES or something like that. the dude was good. never saw him live. i also remember he had a group called something like the Barefoot Servants in the early nineties. what happened to them?

He started with Johanna Wilde, Yea, Wishes was cool. If wishes were horses then dreamers would ride. If you google Jon Butcher, you can get a taste. It brings back memories. He was my freakin hero. He showed me how to sing and him don't even know it. Poor guy, classic case of getting signed and never really getting huge like he deserved. Big in Texas I heard cus Z Z Top saw him and asked him to tour with them.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I think too much has been made of "showmanship" that is really just shock value stuff so that "listeners" will leave the show talking about what the performer did instead of how he/she sounded. (Much easier to pull off with a drunk crowd by the way). I DO believe that there is something called showmanship and it is about inhancing the music and should be tied directly to how the artist performs the music. . . not silly crap that is separate from the music. People who are impressed with the sensational crap aren't really there for the music anyway, just the "event". I have been to some great shows that were exciting and very cool, but the visuals and actions of the artists were tied to enhancing the drama of the music. Not the other way around. Just my two cents.
