Speaking to Your Audience (with Smith Allen in Lake Tahoe)
As hired musicians we often take on MC duties in addition to audience banter and band introductions. Are you speaking slowly and clearly enough so that your audience can understand what you're saying? Andy and special guest, Smith Allen, discuss this topic then perform the Flatt & Scruggs classic "Why Don't You Tell Me So" LIVE from Lake Tahoe.
