   Kind of like that here, just not much fun.

   There's so much experimenting to do with sound, so many things to try.

   I know I'd be happy with reviving the Music I Love so much, I'm playing it!

   Seems like you've been *solving* the volume problems, and that's what seems   
   to be a problem for others who seem to actually *want* the old volume   
   problems back!

   No one should be able to do that any more  than they can tell you how to   
   play your instruments or sing!

   Then the next step would be to determine just *how much* louder she she   
   wants it....for example, 3 dB louder, that's double the power currently   
   used.

   It comes down to how many  dB more will eliminate any chance for gigs.

   Part of professionalism, a HUGE part, is Knowledge of the field of endeavor!   
   The rest is comprised mostly of Skillfully Using that Knowledge   
   Effectively!!!

   I've  got to find a way to make that happen THE RIGHT WAY because right now   
   it's like trying to swim in a cesspool - too much CRAP floating around!
