A pleasant change there this year it seems. I stay at Barry's (next to Bar B Barn), 20 years now. This year music seemed to start a reasonable time, ended at a reasonable time and not too loud. Seems like, at least for the time that I was there, everything irie. I don't go to shows, but have "experienced" many from my porch and my bed. I never even needed ear plugs. I'll toss my hat into the ring, miss Negril Escape shows too. Sometimes too raunchy on the beach.
