We went to a private picking party for Bluegrassers at the beginning of July. It was held in a field belonging to a friend of Kendall's and quite a lot of Bluegrassers get together each year to make music et al.

This year we were parked not too far away from a couple of RVs sporting a sound system, which they proceeded to set up and use while performing in their area. The sound of their music, including clarinet(!) and electric guitar wafted across the site, making it very difficult for any others wanting to start a jam in their own RV area. For whatever reason the owner of the field was not going to ask them to turn it down - we moved our RV to the other end of the field but others were not as lucky as space was limited. We later hears that they had continued late into the night.

Next morning, while taking Seamus for an early morning walk, I made no attempt to lower my voice when talking to a friend just outside their RVs and we stood for a while yacking about this and that......
