Wow! That was interesting. I know how you feel, Donny, but I think Taike is right. Threre really is a lot of young talent out there. Go to any college or university with a decent music program and check out the talent. Ask about the jazz program. You'll usually find some young dudes that can really, REALLY, play. Because they don't show up in the local bar band or nursing home circuit, doesn't mean that they're not out there. I think these guys end up in show bands, teaching HS music, studios, etc. Anywhere you need someone that run the chart once and do the gig.

I have a aviation buddy that owns an architectural firm here in Atlanta, that is on the board of GA Tech. I'm going to see if he can get me a VIP tour of the music dept. (and check out this Robot in person ). You guys say the word and I'll short the little sucker out .
