Nightfall LTEs

I have been waiting for the letter to appear on Chattanoogan.com that approximates my sense of the whole "biker" debate that's been going on there, and I have found it.

I do hope that the scant few motorcyclists who choose to rev their engines in excess are eventually somehow discouraged from doing so, and preferably by their peers. I am a musician and an avid listener. I have been at Nightfall performances by "softer" artists where, all of a sudden, some guy decided to blat his way down the street; and his bike's sound really did obliterate that of the performance. I'm getting too old, though, to start whining about that. It doesn't last that long. Instead, I sympathize with the person's desire to be heard (or whatever), and wish him the best on getting through his little phase, there.

It should go without saying, too, that all of the bikers shouldn't be lumped in with those few; but sometimes a little repetition and redundancy (like that?) helps push the thought in past the cobwebs and greasepiles. All of the bikers shouldn't be lumped in with those few.

Priorities at home are keeping us from all but a few Nightfalls this Summer, but we'll be back next year, I'm sure.
