I agree. The folks working in the restaurant really don't know much about what they're allowed to play.Somebody said something to somebody, then they told two friends, etc. By the time it gets to me there's a lot more to the story I'm not getting.

Based on the comments on this thread, I sent an email to the top kahuna in Dallas and quoted a lot of the facts mentioned here, mainly that all restaurants pay fees as a standard practice, so why do we have to hear "Funky Town." I received this reply:

**Thanks for your note, but don't be alarmed-it's only very temporary!!

We are compiling some other music as we speak, I am coordinating with Robert Davies on some ideas for the all of us.

Disco Duck is not allowed in the restaurant unless it's being shredded tableside!!!!**

(Robert Davies is President and Chief Executive Officer of Trader Vic's)

So I'm hoping this is good news. I'll post an update when I start hearing the "other" music. Whatever it is I'm sure it'll will be better (I hope).

Thanks for everyones input...I was really worried I was going to have to give this place up!
