Diki, what the [potty mouth] are you on here for? This is an arranger forum. It's clear to me that you belong on a band forum where you can chew the fat with all of the players in the band. The whole purpose of being an arranger player is to be a solo act. No more and no less. It is what it is. You can debate all day the pros and cons of working with or without players, but again I say, this is an arranger forum. If you don't like that, maybe it's time to move on.

IMHO, Joe
