   Follow-up. Came across two very interesting sites - the first one is about   
   bars actually *wanting* over-Loud bands and there is some Frightening   
   evidence suggesting why!   
      
   So now, it's not enough to just pickle your liver at a booze emporium, you   
   could Lose your hearing too!!!   
      
   At least according to this:   
      
   http://www.spring.org.uk/2008/09/why-loud-music-in-bars-increases.php   
      
   The other site is about volume levels for bands, in this case, church bands,   
   like the one I play in:   
      
   http://www.spring.org.uk/2008/09/why-loud-music-in-bars-increases.php   
      
   One might say this information is to say the very least, if the Drunks would   
   pardon the term, SOBERING!!!
