What a cool idea!
One place I worked used to get those inflatable saxophones and Stratocasters, but they wouldn't last very long -- from overuse!
The other KJ used an old-timey usher's uniform for his dress. We didn't get much in this respect from the customers. However, one woman would show up dressed as an old spinster. Each song, a layer of clothing would come off, each layer revealing more of the artist that she is.
Most of it is overcoming stage fright (with or without the help of alcohol) as a means of having fun. And nothing beats the attraction of a professionally trained mouth playing up the lonely bachelor motif combined with a truly ecclectic selection of songs when it comes to drawing a crowd.
Ah, but while I convalesce, I think I'll start grabbing up a few of these things you mentioned. As I start to get out more and more often (even just going to the store), I keep seeing people I knew, and they all scream for me to get back into it! Hah! Just you wait! Just you wait!
