Flesh, bone, strings, skin and wood vibrating the air inches from your seat?<br />Even in our digital age of high-tech stereo and PA Systems, you can never replace an old-fashioned acoustic performance. Is a performance necessarily better because of amplification? Or have we been desensitized due to the symptoms of our industrial world of the last 100+ years.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 11px;">Interesting questions to consider.
