WHAT I DID FOR LOVE

There comes a moment near the end of "A CHORUS LINE" when one of the character's sings, "What I did for Love".  Part of the lyric goes like this: "won't forget, can't regret, what I did for love." Today, I got to thinking about the things we do for love. I love to sing and perform with audiences. Notice I said, "WITH", not "FOR". As far as I'm concerned, performance is about the communion between performer and audience. When I go see a performance of any kind, I can always tell if the performers are doing it for the love of the audience-performer bond; or if they're doing it to show off. Showing off turns me off. Do you go to see bands, plays, movies, concerts to marvel at someone's technical skill? Or do you go to (hopefully) make a connection with the performer(s)? Do tell . . .
