I agree. I don't know how Craig (the soundman) has the recording system 
arranged, i.e. I have no idea what he's doing with EQ and other 
settings. However, the place is a coffee shop with a capacity of about 
~60 customers, and Craig always favors the voice. He's been running 
instruments through the board too, but the sound out front is always 
well-balanced and never too loud. Coffee Amici's Web site has some nice 
photos of the place, you can get some idea of the environment from the 
shots:

Will do, sir. :) Thanks for listening, Frank, and thank you for your 
always-welcome comments.
