You're right, Bill. There are a lot of talented musicians and great bands in the area. It's a question of who they choose to book.
Boomers are moving in and the music will change as the residents change. I think that a lot of us still enjoy the fifties music although I agree that more 60s and early 70s music needs to be added to the mix. Country is OK, but it seems like I hear it five nights a week. The worst is the button pushers doing disco. Please let's end all the canned music.
It's gotten to the point where if my wife and I go into a square and don't see a drum set we walk out. Which is too bad because we did catch a great acoustic duo last week. I think they are two brothers and they were great. The problem is that they had some big name guy in Katie Belle's that night so there was no on in the square.
