trouble is........... talk over cd background music and talk over performers.......is the prevalance of background music encouraging chitter chatter.....maybe receptors switch off, although it is there people don't notice? I am actually one of the crowd of people that think that people come out for a night out which also means talking to your mates, joining in with the singing and listening to the music but not in segments, so in a concert situation shut up and listen, in a session, be yourself. I know that a few of the muso's at the Tap & Spile session get hacked off because people chatter through the tunes and, by and large, shut up for the singing, although, as commented by some recent additions to the session said, it is a battle to get started! Anyway, as someone said earlier, can't please everyone all of the time
