I'd swear that in my area I'm seeing more people instead of less. Maybe it's just the emergence of Spring. Peace, Alan

Usually there might be an upfront fee that includes a first drink. That gets everyone to pay while they listen to the band and makes sure they buy a drink. Here many times (at least in the past) one could slip into a bar and bring your own booze and not pay nothing, but I think them days are long gone now?? Hey take care air color
