Howdy Cal,

Ken was right about the Bird. It is the one place I know of where they are very strict about the rule of not talking during a performance...a rule that is appreciated by both the audience AND the performers. For one thing the place is so tiny that the slightest noise from the audience does truly affect everyone else's enjoyment.

As for the restaurant the other night...several people DID speak to the offensive table...but were ignored. We left earlier than we had intended. I just wasn't going to put up with it any longer. I don't think anyone asked the management to deal with them, however. If I had seen a waiter I would have done so, but the wait staff didn't come out there much after the music started.

Guess as I have gotten older, I find I am becoming less and less tolerant of rude and abusive people. The foot tends to come down more often these days. I see no reason to be an enabler of their poor behavior.

Hugs,
Bobbie

They'll tell you success in the music biz is all about who you know...but the truth is...it's about who knows you.
