I sense this is another one of those "hate the rich developer" who hires/pays them thread.

If the music they provided were sloppy and off-key, then there would be reason to complain. But all these combos and soloists are top notch musicians, and they know how engage the audience.

Booking bands to play for 728 gigs per year at Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter town squares is a huge endeavor.

There's probably no other city in the nation that accomplishes such a feat.....for us who can go there for FREE and don't have to spend a penny if we don't want to.

Plus, during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years' season, most good bands are booked a year or years in advance, at a much higher rate than usual. They call the shots.
