I think one of the main reasons neighbors may not want this type of activity going on is the "strangers in the neighborhood" aspect. If you host a private party, you normally invite people you know. (Except for maybe back in college days when its bigger is better...) By contrast, house concerts are often promoted by the host and the performer to the general public. Look at this site and see if you think this isn't a public event open to anyone who wants to pay a $10 cover. The public has details and directions to the neighborhood. Now in this case - it appears they went to the zoning board to see if they would be in compliance if they did not promote on a web site and didn't collect donations. They were unable to get a determination that they would be in compliance with the Cease and Desist Order. So I can see why they would take it up a level. ------------------ Marty my home Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again!
