It can be annoying and distracting anywhere when people get carried away (we don't have to worry about that here in Maine...)
Fred was in New Orleans for "work" and happened into an Irish pub there. A group of folks on one of those plastic green hat "Irish" tours came in and started "participating". One of them was playing the spoons- and he was a pretty good spoons player. Problem was, when the singer sang a slow ballad, the guy kept on with the spoons. The singer finally stopped and said "For God's sake, will some one give that man a bowl of soup!?" Some people just need to be educated.
