A fine and silly distinction
"If the Chings, or anyone else hired a band, ensemble, orchestra, or other music entertainment and invited people to a concert for a party, that would be permitted regardless of whether it generated noise or traffic which might annoy the neighbors," reads a staff analysis. "However, once they charge for the entertainment, even in the form of requested donations, it changes the event from entertainment to a business."
It`s a fine, some might say silly, distinction. As even Billingsley said, "Neighbors probably can`t tell the difference between this and a party."
