Some Takeaways
I appreciate the various observations on this issue, both on Talk Of The Villages and from our friends. We've got a few takeaways from this whole thing.
- Whenever we go to a live performance, we will be bringing foam ear plugs;
- In a social setting like a wedding reception, party, or restaurant, a lot of folks don't like music so loud that it impedes conversation;
- A surprising number of folks don't mind being exposed to music so loud that, were it an industrial setting, OSHA would require hearing protection;
- The Orange Blossom Opry is pleased to receive feedback from their patrons and wishes to provide an excellent experience;
- The recent performance by the New Horizon Band at the Savannah was performed without any amplification (except for the announcer) and received a lot of compliments, even though it was done "au natural";
- A number of folks have been to performances that they found too loud, but nobody remarked about a performance they found too soft;
- It is common that performers don't know how loud the performance is to the audience.
Again, thanks for your comments.
