What are the ‘unwritten rules’ of live music?
April 03, 2018
As baseball fans debate whether the Orioles violated an "unwritten rule" at Sunday night's game against the Twins when they bunted while down 7-0 in the bottom of the ninth, we asked our followers on Twitter whether there were any "unwritten rules" of live music — for both performers and audience. Here's some of what people had to say.

All in all, being timely and knowing your audience seems to be the big takeaways for performers, and being mindful and respectful of others seems to be the big takeaway for audience members. If you have any more unwritten rules, share them in the comment section or on Twitter.
