When attending a concert, remember that artists are human and respond on stage to your feedback. For the audience, appreciating can take the form of applause, cheers, or dance. At the end of her 2015 performance of "Always On My Mind," best known in its Willie Nelson incarnation, Erin Bode acknowledged the many couples dancing near the stage.
"Thank you for dancing," she said. "That means a lot to us."
Bode's concert at Kirkwood's Station Plaza was especially strong that year. Undeniably, she sang an appealing mix of original songs and cover versions that year and had a strong band on stage.
I'd like to also think, however, that the audience's enthusiastic response to her music was at least a little bit responsible for the concert's added spark.
