At least 2 venues in Old Town Sacramento at the Jubilee are right next to
the station where tour trains headed by steam and diesel locomotives arrive
and depart. Between those venues is a pedestrian crossing and the
locomotives are required to sound their horns and whistles, both coming and
going. There is no way to avoid having a steam locomotive interrupt a tune
with whistles and hissing steam, possibly a number of times during a set.
There is also the paddle-wheeler, and don't forget the Freeway Gardens venue
which is directly beneath the 12 lanes of Interstate 5.

To me, it is part of the atmosphere at Sacramento.  I kinda enjoy it.

 "My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or 
a politician. And to
tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. I, for one, believe the piano
player job to be much more honorable than current politicians."  --Harry 
Truman
