When you think of Ben Franklin, music may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, I love this quote that I put to an infographic meme:
So true...
Of course, as a musician/performer/entertainer, I admit that applause makes me feel good. But, it does something more as well.
The quote is so true, that applause waits on success.
When I receive applause at the end of a show, and sometimes even a standing ovation, it humbles me yet at the same time inspires me to perform at my best because I realize for an audience to applaud means I have succeeded at making their day pleasurable, brought back happy memories, or just provided an hour or so of enjoyable music.
