I dunno Dave, I don't see how that had anything to do with it whatsoever.
I just hope kids can again come to appreciate live music. There is a club I have gigged at and it's kind of an "alt" type of place. A mix of rock, jazz, punk and blues primarily. I am working up an alt-country night for them. They don't want traditional country but the kids eat up "alt-country." My setlist is stuff like Steve Earle, Hank III, actually, it's all three Hanks, Johnny Cash, Merle, Willie. And my originals. They support originals.
But it's a college town. But they have no in-house system, just a jukebox. It'll hold maybe 180 people or so. But they like live music. I hope the trend increases. For music's sake.
