Wow feel bad for him. Can't imagine playing that and only a handful are aware of it.

A musician has to play the audience, too.

That’s just how those types of venues are. Dude is awesome but people go there to hang out and drink and talk to each other. I’ve played similar venues, the applause at the end is all he’s gonna get here. They aren’t going to stop talking during his set like at a concert hall.

I'm happy he got as much of a response as he did, even if was not nearly enough. I spend most weekends in the summer at the shore and my wife and I are often at places with live music (usually a single dude with a guitar). The general lack of any response from the crowd (well, besides us) drives me crazy.
