KNow your Audience Observation/Invention

So we play this incredible job at Smith Optics Friday-two jobs, for day and swing shift-and we learn a Santana song to meet the needs of the employees we feel will be there. The song is Oya Coma Va (or something like that.) We start it and I look out over the audience and see the faces of a hundred orientals with a look on their faces that says, "What dumb A** song is that?" They came up after and said, "We love you music. You are so good. Can you play anything we know?" Well, all I can say is, "Know your audience" or you'll look like a dumb a**.

You should have started playing the theme song to it's a small world...........they probably would've known that one. I got on rolling stones and they had a list of the one hundred best songs of all time, you'll have to get on and read it it is cool!!!
