Do you tap when you play?

we have a six piece band in a small corner. 

if somebody starts to shout, we all jump to guard our equipment

Tap???  I tap, rock, and some times if it gets good to me... I get my march on!  Well at least thats as best as I can describe it.  Kind of a quartet thing I picked up from watching all of these guys.

I have a large "scar" on the back of my Tele from one of those tall, hold-it-by-the-headstock bass stands falling over on my guitar during such an encounter...

Far as I know, I tap my feet. But others in the band says that I'm spastic. My head would bob up and down, either my left or right leg - sometimes both will be flailing every which way. They say I pace back and forth when I'm playing too.

I've always wondered why before we play, I'm surrounded by other musicians and afterwards, I always have a 10' radius around me after praise and worship.

done both... tapped like i got Tourret's in my whole leg and also played motionless. people use to make fun of me because i looked so relaxed sometimes, seated back in my chair with my legs stretched straight out. i get lost sometimes, lol.

and, apparently, i make these angry expressions when i get into it. not Dubose-y or anything, but my face balls up like im upset about something, lol. from what im hearing it sounds like it happens when i play a fast lick or somethin. oh well.

we've all probably got as many different bodily expressions as we do different playing styles. God bless us

Ok, let me get this right:

You're in church playing guitar, having conversations with somebody, and dancing to another song....all at the same time? lol

Now, that's a multi-taskinal gift!

very odd. lol. To be honest the foot tapping thing is only on fast songs and I don't think it messes up my timing that bad. At least I hope it doesn't.
