It may not affect the performer. I perform myself and I'm quite
capable of tuning out any number of distractions. Even drummers,
sometimes (I play at 'get up and play' nights and I've had my share of
heavy metal drummers who reckon they can play with a folkie. :( )
I'm not worried about the performer, but the *audience* is there to
hear the man play, not hear or see me take pictures. In this
particular venue, it's like you're sitting around his chair in his
living room as he plays lullabies to his children. It's incredibly
intimate. The amplification failed at one point and we didn't notice,
it was that quiet.
