#1-I agree, a live person playing music from a box is not live entertainment. Would any of you consider you car radio "live entertainment"? There is a live person at the radio station talking and playing records.

#2- "The developer pays for it." Are you serious? The developer pays for nothing. We the residents of the Villages pay for everything through our amenities fee. The developer simply takes our money and gives it someone else.

I'm not complaining about this as this is the way life works. But I really hate to see anything less than a full band playing live music in the squares. We often drive by and if I don't see a drum set, we usually keep driving.

The DJs and "band in a box" entertainers are there simply to save money. You can pay one person a lot less than five.

How about getting the entertainment division back from a private party and into the hands of the residents?
