[Dixielandjazz] RE: Too Loud!

[WILLIAM HORTON]

I'm surprised there has been no mention of Las Vegas, Reno and other casino
show rooms in the discussion of this topic.

I avoid then now because I have been to some of them when, after removing my
hearing aids and replacing them with wads of paper napkin in my ears, the
volume was still physically painful!  Half the patrons were holding their
hands over their ears and scowling.  (Lounge shows are usually not so
guilty.)

I'm convinced that having the sound volume too high is an attempt to
substitute excess volume for lack of quality.
