I have played in a few places that are known for this policy (I wish there were more too) ...The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville (probably one of the first to do so), Eddie's Attic near Atlanta, Coffee Gallery Backstage in Pasadena...when I used to play in the round with Jim Messina he used to remind the audience to not talk & would give the stnk eye to anyone who was talking away when the songwriters were singing...
> I'm curious as to how the club enforces this policy. Is there a sign out > front warning the audience not to talk and if so, is that sufficient to > keep everyone quiet during the performance? This blurb from LA Weekly is the first I heard of the no chattering policy! I've never seen signs there in the past but it's like the crowd just knows to be quiet so if anyone else makes a peep they will stick out like a sore thumb! Wonder if Joni could handle the policy? LOL > FWIW I wish more venues would impose similar policies! ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
