Yes, they are very good, but they don't play very often. If I see that blond with the karaoke machine one more time I think I'll throw up. And then there is the Lee Ann something or other band. At least they are a band.
But the problem is as someone pointed out, they don;t want to pay enough money. I'm a musician and would liked to get some gigs around here. I saw a husband and wife duet playing one night who I thought were really good. So, I asked them if they needed a drummer. The guy told me he'd much rather worked with a drummer than that stupid machine, but they can't afford to split the money three ways. No one wants to pay musicians any more. And unfortunately most people don't care. A lot of the people that go to see these bands are only interested in a beat so they can dance. As long as there is something going boom ba boom, they are happy.
