Slick, About the same thing has been happening here in Buffalo. The drunk driving penalties have really hurt the bar business. To make matters worse the state has enacted a smoking ban on all restaurants in the state. That has put many spots out of business. I used to go out and play to dozens of patrons. Now if there is a dozen at a venue it's a lot. It may be that the only music we will hear in the future will be canned. I hope not! But I'm cynical about the future of live music. Frank V.
