>          I would like to have a little background music in my booth. 

    edith - my personal plea to you: PLEASE DO NOT HAVE MUSIC IN YOUR
    BOOTH. i have been at shows when one or more other artists had music
    going during day-before setup, and or early setup and it did not
    play well for most of us forced to hear it. there is no way you are
    going to select music on which all those within hearing range - even
    if only those next to and behind your booth can hear it. customers
    who don't like your selections will not enter and that will cost you
    sales; other artists who are turned into captive listeners will, by
    first day's end, back their vans over your booth with you inside. 

    at one 'images' art show i was across from a performing artist who
    played new age compositions (innocuous and soothing right?) on cds
    and live using a generator for his keyboard - halfway through the
    second day i was considering grabbing his generator's gasoline can
    and immolating him for immortality - and my sanity. 

    besides, most promoters don't allow music other than contract
    entertainers - and weird guys playing new age compositions with a
    generator. 

    so please don't make a good artist go bad and commit murder over
    music -

    who still shudders at the memory of one bicycle safari - 450 miles in
    5 1/2 days - when one old biker brought a boom box and played polka
    tapes that one could hear 2 miles in any direction. some of us
    pitched in and later erected a roadside marker in the vicinity of
    his disappearance.
