Sounds like an arranger player slam to me, but anyway & dont see the sense of this post....Most of us OMB have played with bands for many many years previously,......I myself 25+ years,..... in todays world you gotta do what you gotta do simple as that to survive and make a living nothing wrong with that, running a band is a big task & headaches beyond enjoyment, in today's world, .......there's plenty of pie for everyone.
VIVA ARRANGERS!!
It's pretty obvious by your response that you've missed the whole gist of the post, which has nothing to do with anything in your response. Maybe you want to do a re-read. As far as 'the sense of this post', I could point to about 500 of yours and ask the same question. In any case, the gist of it is, 'can a PROFESSIONAL OMB ARRANGER PLAYER REALLY JUSTIFY CONSTANTLY UPGRADING TOTL ARR. KB'S every time a new model comes out? ie. does it enhance his performance enough to significantly boost his bottom line? Just looking for opinions (based on your experience), that's all. No need to trot out your 'why are you so angry' line, Donny.
