You make an interesting point. Still, I can't remember seeing anyone
carrying their Fernandez (It's a little electric guitar with a
built-in "amp" & speaker), or even a tambourine to a bar/club/concert
venue I've attended, for the purpose of "participating" in the
performance (or "entertainment").

At a Bonfiglio concert, I wouldn't even SPEAK during a number (I might
whisper). At a bar/club/concert venue that's OK. At some concert
venues (& most bars) it's fine to dance, but dancin' ain't Gussin'.

In most cases (with rare exceptions), Gussing is not "participating".
