Acoustic Art!
I appreciate a nicely designed room as much as the next person, but I also am a believer in an acoustically sound room designed room as well.

Naturally, one might say it is a good thing to be afraid of doing nothing. The danger lies within the extreme of believing that everything must be perfect. Thinking that if we weren’t at the ideal location every time the best light occurs the outing was a complete failure.
