    As musician who plays background music at restaurants, I really appreciate hearing Norah explaining how it feels first hand. It can be pretty soul crushing. It has also opened me up to doing exactly what Conan does by applauding all performers so they know they are being heard. My wife always questions it to which I say they just want to know we are listening.

    • @0000song0000
      @0000song0000 Рік тому +6

      This crushes me a bit, because I was the one that 8-y.o. who would go to specific cafes (with mom obvi) to listen to the band.
      Now i notice that "i was the weird one clapping", i was always so vocal on how rude people were not to clap. 😮
      Btw, now i've played guitar, bass, drums, violin, mandolin, bongoes and harmonica😅

    • @ConwayBob
      @ConwayBob Рік тому +3

      I may have started applauding musicians in restaurants even before I had performed in a restaurant. I want musicians who perform in public (even if they're not all that great) to know that I appreciate their efforts to lighten the load of living. The effort alone is noble. Even the impulse to make the effort is beautiful.

    • @NoviJimB
      @NoviJimB Рік тому +2

      I have found myself being the only one clapping many times over the years. Doesn't bother me at all. I want them to know someone's paying attention. Never worry about what it looks like, just clap! You're not drawing attention to yourself, you're drawing attention to the musician(s). I've played at many parties over the years with our band, and MANY times have played a set without getting a whole lot of reaction. But then when we're on a break and chatting with people everyone will tell us how good it sounds, etc. At parties people are socializing and not as focused on the music so much - bar gigs are different. they're there to socialize, but a lot of them want to hear the music, too. Daytime parties are worse, I've found the later in the day it is the more likely people are to pay attention to the music. I've never played at a restaurant but have been at them when someone was playing, they're the worst as far as getting applause - people are there to eat and socialize, and it's hard to applaud when you're eating. :) I'll say it again - just clap!

    I'm with Conan on this. If I'm at a restaurant I'm only expecting food, so getting a live performance as well is a huge bonus that should be appreciated with applause.
    Also, can you imagine how you'd feel if you saw Norah Jones before she blew up and DIDN'T applaud just because you were too intent on your chicken tenders??

      I mean when I'm not expecting live music I'm often there to have dinner with someone and actually talk to them. I love live music too, but in different circumstances. I'd choose a different place if I'm looking to catch up with friends and I knew there'd be a performance. Instead I feel bad for the performer *and* I either miss out on talking or ignore someone doing a tough gig.

    Where the hell has this wonderful woman been hiding???😳. "Come Away With Me" is still one of my favourite "Easy Listening" Albums. It was a constant presence in my early 20's, whenever i wanted put on chilled music, whether i was cooking, cleaning, sleeping or generally just relaxing, i'd play it on repeat back-to-front. I also remember downloading a version of it (remember KAZAA? 😜), live in New Orleans, and it sounded even more spectacular, LIVE!!. "Cold Cold Heart" and "I've Got To See You Again" live, were breathtaking! This has brought back wonderful gowing up memories 😍

    As a musician who plays at cafes and restaurants, I really do appreciate if at least one person claps. It totally makes our day to know that at least somebody is enjoying the music. Conan and Norah get how much that means to the performer. They really get it. And of course Conan is like that one person who claps even if it is awkward. That's why we love him.

    Great interview. In regards to playing while people are eating or drinking, I remember I was playing an open mike night in a bar. And I had diligently practiced this one song where the lead was difficult but played right was impressive. Just as I got to that part that I had worked on so hard, the margarita mixer/blender that was made from an old B-17 engine turned on roaring so loud it drowned out everything I was doing. All that work for nothing! But it was funny and I laughed afterwards! :)
