This story comes from Susan Brink when she was interviewing Jazz club owner Amos Kaune
"Amos Kaune, who recently passed, was the proprietor of a number of jazz
rooms - The Clifton Tap Room and Gulliver's, to name a few. Amos
respected the music and he insisted his patrons do the same. One night,
he made a sign with a marking pencil and posted it at the door " You
have to be quiet or you will have to leave and your music charge will
not be refunded" . A few weeks later, someone mentioned they'd seen his
sign, near the door at a club in Boston. Turns out that Jaki Bayard had
made a copy of the sign and put it up wherever he was playing."
