"come as you are, do what you want, as long it's acoustic"


well that's where the likes of electric trad folkies like me are buggered all round then !!!


..even though these days the music gear consumer market
is over abundantly supplied with plenty of different brands of light mobile
very low wattage sensibly quiet volume
battery powered amps and speakers
that can be discretely positioned at sessions barely noticable under chairs and tables....


..and what about kiddies practice electric guitars with nicely gnarly distorting built in speakers ???

surely you'd be less audibly tortured if I turned up with one of them
instead of an ear bleedin' psaltery..
