Lol. The happy medium are the musicians who play for a living. They get used to giving the people what they want, when they want it. That’s different than those who mainly play for their own enjoyment.
True story: I was at a gig one time, and a guy asked me to serenade his girlfriend.
I said no.
Why not?
Because If I do, she'll be coming home with me, and not with you.
Yep, that's some Frank Zappa "unmitigated audacity", right there.
And I proudly claim it.
