You're right. Probably hasn't been an act at the main general interest venue in Lexington
in 10 years that hasn't had part of the performance sequenced in some way.

But, right down the road, there's a slightly smaller venue that hosts jazz, blues and acoustic acts where you never hear prerecorded anything.

It's just not for me. Chas, Rory and I will be seeing Tony Monaco at a club date in Nashville during Summer NAMM....no tracks there. You won't find any on Chas' or Rory's bandstand.....mine, either. Tommy Emmanuel doesn't use them. Lot's of people don't...and won't.

Again, it's not a question of right or wrong as much as it is a question of style, preference and primary focus. I'm a "jazzer" and on the stands I frequent, sequences and tracks of any kind are pretty much non-existent.

Different strokes. More importantly, play whatever and however you're happiest and most fulfilled, (UGH!) tracks and all.(LOL)!
