Notes on a culture displaced

I believe you misunderstand the problem. The local musicians operate within certain territories, and the mostly elderly guys who have traditionally operated along the waterfront and downtown areas are the ones being disproportionately displaced. These guys don't have 401k's or retirement funds. If they don't work, they don't eat. And lately due to all the waterfront and downtown restaurants that have house musicians I see that it is creating a hardship for them. Since many of them are my friends and acquaintences of many years, I thought I should say something on their behalf.

I truly hate to see the arrival of the type of tourist who no longer tries to respect or understand our local culture and who simply prefers to bring their me-first attitude along with them. They can ruin a good tourist community. :-(

Remember, culture is something acquired through learning. B-)
