  1. I recall your ukulele class and you were great in front of the group.
    My main caution that I would pass on to you is to be careful not to ” over educate ” your audience. I have seen too many folks do that. For a seriously interested pro it might be cool to get all of the details of the song. But for the casual audience a short version works better. I think.
    In my capacity as a sound engineer I am in a unique place. I am a part of the performance but I am sitting in the audience.

  2. Hi Ron, Keep up your efforts. Unfortunately, people listen with their eyes at live performances. Performers don’t have to smile if that is difficult, but they must learn to appear gathered and confident. If you appear nervous, your audience will be nervous for you and everything will be stiff. Just as you pay attention to your technique with the banjo spend some time on your stage presence. The best way to do that is to practice in front of a mirror. A smile goes a long way in capturing an audience. By the way. You look just fine on stage. : )
