Refreshingly honest concert banter

One of my favorite, refreshingly honest admissions by an artist takes place on the CD, "Live," by Alison Krauss and Union Station.  After she sings a strong rendition of "Baby, Now That I've Found You," Krauss tells the audience, "We are lookin' forward to playing some music for you tonight...because that's our job."  The way she says that and laughs good-naturedly afterwards endears her to the audience.  Not every performer can pull off being that honest and self-deprecating.
