Well I guess that proves it; all legit musicians should throw away their (legit) instruments, nail the 7ft Grand shut, and buy an arranger; that will surely make the (music) world a better place. And while we're at it, let's kill off all the 'jazzers'. After all, who likes that garbage anyway, with all those fancy chords and stuff; hell, they probably even read music.

BTW, you didn't mention anything about the QUALITY of the performers; ie. I'd rather hear a good guitarist/vocalist than a bad jazz quartet. Also, sometimes an audience's response to a performance says more about the audience than about the performer. JMO.
