Just recently I did a stint at the local Salvation Army Christmas dinner and got some very encouraging comments. As a social event, it went down a treat with many of the 'older' ladies actually getting up and dancing to the tunes of yesteryear.

Compelling people to listen was not even under discussion.

I appreciate that early evening time can be quite a traumatic event for some, families with young children, etc. but if part of the planned day it cam be a real social event. Both for Club and for the residents.

However I see from the comments so far that such an event would (to Quote) "go down like a lead ballon".

Enough said.

It would certainly make an addition to the Fish & Chip van or the Pizza truck arriving on some sites for a couple of hours in the early evening (especially whilst waiting in the queue) but as many others have stated, it probably wouldn't appeal to all.

I feel a song coming on....."99 lead balloons......"

May you enjoy your travels 

You could take the instruments you play with you and look out for local venues which encourage open music nights, acoustic sessions etc.

Ah! If out of earshot no problem.

It would not be a part of my 'planned day' however. 

Ok I'll leave my laptop and 600 watt PA system at home and stick with the .mp3 player and headphones.(giggles)

We are all different Busyelf. I rarely listen to music nowadays and when I do choose what I want to listen to at that time. I don't watch TV.  

There is of course an obvious answer to this ....

 

Bluetooth!

Not sure who the answer might directly help Busy
