Uttered the moment before your next song…
“I hope you like it”
Of course you do! Why would you or anyone ever hope anything else?
Your audience is smart…they know that you hope they like the song you’re about to play.
It’s a waste of a line.
Remove it from your repertoire.
Whatever comes to mind to replace it (even if it’s to say nothing at all) will be better than speaking like an amateur.
