Thank you both Polar and Wolf. Fair expression of your view on my choice of words. I chose "lower my expectation" not because I think my taste is superior but because my expectation was "high" as in great or big, referring to the scale of the expectation. Like "high hopes."
And I'll frankly feel a sense of accomplishment if I'm able to do so considering one of the reasons I moved to the Villages was to enjoy free live music in three locations every day of the year *hoping and expecting* that music would be sufficiently satisfying. I realize now that I won't usually be sufficiently satisfied, but I'll settle for decent music (instead of incredible music) oftentimes being played repetitively. For me, any music is better than no music.
And on reflection, I realize now that Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and Play That Funky Music White Boy are played incessantly because, I'm guessing, most people don't visit the Squares on a regular basis so they don't hear the same music over and over and over again.
