                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've never done introductions, I don't think. I remember our last gig in december - I mentioned the drummer after a difficult piece - and the singer has introduced me as Dr. Nosewater. I think in many cases, it might be more professional, or classy, to not do intros. I mean, if your getting a following people might know who you are by the record or website or facebook, but in most club and bar scenes no one is going to care who you are. I say introduce the band name every now and than and where they can check you out.]]></content:encoded>
