I gotta' agree with ya' Davedog.............But...you know there was a 'but' coming so but...anyway

I went to see a group the other nite, with two really fine players who had toured nationaly and did that kinda' thing....and who was there?, ah a couple folks, at least it was quite and made for good listen....some friends suggest we head over to another joint and catch another local act doing basically the same type music or more like trying to do it.....I was reluctant having seen them before, they're really not very good, especially in comparison to what we were already listening too, but anyway so we head down, and the joint is packed....why......well for all the reason we've been talking about...the right pants, the cute chick singer, dah dah dah.....hey it's all cool and that's what it's about ....but in the end the audience is losing out and the good players get more discourage by the day, not that they are gonna quite, like you say...but............we (the audience) just make it tougher on them.
