    I am a City Manager myself (thus the username) and so this caught my interest. I found several things about this surprising. First, that he would go over and confront them and tell them they were in violation of a city ordinance, but then have to actually look up the ordinance. When he did, I was also surprised at how quickly he himself realized that the ordinance either didn't apply or was in opposition to state law, and then decided to just let them play. I've learned- and he should have to- that if you are going to confront people for a violation of a local ordinance, you need to be very familiar with that ordinance. City Managers and Police officers can usually get away with just saying "this is a violation, and you need to stop" because most people are unfamiliar with the ordinances and/or just don't want to bother arguing. But there are certainly times when you come across folks like Dovydas and his wife who challenge your statements and who are more familiar with applicable law than you are. Those situations are so embarrassing to a city manager or policeman that we usually review the ordinance before the confrontation, not during it. I can assure you this city (town) manager will be reviewing this ordinance and asking the city attorney if it conflicts with state law and otherwise brushing up on this before embarrassing himself like this again! Now, all that being said, I can't help but defend the guy a LITTLE bit. He was a little "Karen-esque" for sure, but I've seen SOOOOO much worse. He was generally pretty nice, and when he realized the ordinance wasn't as clearly prohibitive of live music as this location as he first thought, he did back down. You can say its because he had to, but I've seen plenty of cases where city managers and police offiers would never compromise or back down no matter how clearly wrong they are. I'm not a fan of this manager or what he did here, just saying he could have been much worse.

      it's not illegal; but one problem that getting a permit resolves is when more than one "busker" wants that space or that street corner. happens often and arguments ensue. also, there is a time limit per location. the grounds manager should have had documents handy if he was going to enforce the bylaw.

    You need to put a few freedom lyrics to this. Nice of a Lithuanian to explain freedom to the city manager. Excellent job you and your wife stayed calm and talked to the guy. I can understand a city wanting you to pull a free or very cheap permit so they know who is there and when incase of some complaint. then they can say the person has a permit so the whiner can calm down. You would be surprised how often just telling a whiner they have a permit people will stop whining. It should be very easy to get a permit if you do not charge for attending, are not blocking sidewalks or in an area that rents for groups like park shelters.

    The city cannot demand a permit for you for exercising your free speech rights. Music has been upheld for many years as a form of speech. They can limit the volume on your speech, but not the speech itself. At best they can give you a ticket for a noise ordinance violation. But most of those only apply after 9pm and before 7am. So that would be tricky. They could also try to say you were 'disturbing the peace' .. but without a complaint by a citizen that wouldn't hold up in court. His only recourse was to harass you into stopping on your own. Thankfully that didn't work and this song was beautiful!

    Wow, what part of us has lost it's touch with it's brethren? I think we know.. Keep on fighting the good fight and making people smile. WE do have rights, and government works for the people. They need to learn that. Good job DD and Jill

    Such a fine line when someone needs a permit or when they don't. To set up and play in a public setting you should never need a permit. That's why it's considered public. If you were putting on a show charging admission that's a different story Uncle Sam always has to get his share. And that's all it's about

      In our city you don't need a permit per se but you do have to sign up to use the performance space. Not a bad tradeoff considering the list of who's going to be using the space is free advertising.

      I agree, but you can understand someone complaining or arguing if it was a death metal band setting up next to an old peoples afternoon tea party or something though. Just playing Devil's advocate!
      Peace.

      ​@@bensons999 Even more understandable would be somebody complaining because an old people's tea party set up next to somebody's death metal band. That's just wrong.

    Still the best guitar tone I've ever heard, I wish I had that exact sound. I've been adjusting my modular amp for years, 4 main settings I've created that I love but just always am not completely satisfied with. This tone is what I'm looking for, on top of it somehow you always hit the perfect t notes with masterful timing. Genius
