Yes! Unfortunately that's about the only thing that is done without
reinforcement, though. But it's still a joy to just hear someone filling
a hall with their voice.


Is there something different between reinforcement and amplification?


Philosophy, for the most part.

I heard Cab Calloway on stage once, with the power out. He was louder than
the band, and he was in his nineties too.


Maybe he could no longer hear himself performing.


No, he was perfect.
