Sorry all, I merely put my comment in as a counterbalance to guys like Donny, whose only comment on what was a great performance, AND a demonstration that pros sometimes DO use arrangers JUST for the sounds was a contentedness that they are making all the money.
I for one, and I believe, MANY here, STILL think that possibly the MUSIC itself deserves some consideration. Or should we stop talking about music, and just discuss financial matters?
We MAY be making all the money, but we certainly aren't making music as advanced as that clip with our arrangers (nobody has posted ANYTHING like that here!) unless we use them just to play with others. I do this regularly with my G70, have NEVER had to apologize or explain why I am using an arranger, and to be perfectly honest, as long as the MUSIC is exciting and fresh, the fact that I don't make all the money for the gig doesn't worry me one little bit.
But if my earlier post DID piss anyone off, well, first of all, sorry. But MAYBE it would be good to think about whether the music or the money is the most important thing in your lives...
