Tourists. First time I went there, I spent the entire evening, thanked them for one of the best times I've ever had, and left a double sawbuck in the hat. There's a sign on the wall that says "Requests $1, The Saints $2." Someone in the audience had the brilliant idea of requesting Summertime. They acknowledged it wasn't their usual fare, but the trumpet player put down his horn and sang it, and it was one of the best versions I've ever heard - Dixieland hymn.
