Hey, I'm a newbie, I'll bite:
- Play just arranger - only for practice or a rare instumental gig.
- Play just certain kinds of gigs - basically, any that pay and often just for fun. In practice, rock, blues, old time, honky-tonk, country, etc. Not much of a jazzer, but I really appreciate those who understand and play it.
- Active players in groups - currently playing in a Cajun/Zydeco band and "free-lancing" with two blues-based bands.
- Multiple instruments on paid jobs - depending of circumstances I ply Cajun button accordion, keys (organ, piano, horn and string parts mainly), a bit of guitar, and left hand bass, if that counts separately.
- No regular studio or commercial work, but after retiring from day job, who knows?
- Use arranger with other players for paid gigs - haven't done so to date.
