My favorite is when original bands announce "here is one of our own. :rolleyes: " Why not just yell PULL!
The best thing to do is play the song, if people clap or ask about it mention, "That's one of our own."
When you announce your original up front, you make everyone in the building think "Oh yeah, let's see what you got" They become super-critic. Let them appreciate it, and then let the cat out of the bag. Better yet, announce it is available on your CD
