Ian, not even close...If i could have been replaced by an MP3 player..I think Stu would have ran home and got a MP3 player...

The fear set in because the band and audience would miss, my running of the "show"..including sound engineer, keyboard play[yes I do play}..trouble shooting (mic feedback etc)..and my charming charisma...not to mention my re-pore chatting with patrons on break..

It takes many attributes to do my job...The MP3 player can not replace me...only resolve a bad situation....

Some folks still have a lot to learn here..
