Thanks, Spaw.

That post will keep me chuckling for many weeks to come!

Ditto to everything that's been said. You are providing a product to your consumers, the paying patrons. They want what you are offering. If you changed the offering without letting the patrons know and without giving them the choice, you would be giving them a raw deal.

No rock venue is going to give a 4 piece bluegrass band the time of day.

Hold your ground and encourage them to find their own place.
