It seems like a lot of folks see music as something to talk over. Even movies now days. Big screen is perfect for sports but that's something you can talk over and even yell at. Good music requires listening and focus. Presentation is fun but most folks don't have the time or interest to sit and listen. I've been asked to play a song for family only to have someone start talking in the back. Fine if I'm playing at a winery. But when the people who ask you to play can't keep their attention, and yes it could be that I just wasn't exciting enough, but I think they'd do the same to Billy Joel in their own home. Folks just aren't good at listening.

this is a double edge sword thing. digital made music worthless its not worth listening to anymore .
No one would care about the lights and costumes if the sound sucks.
