Not many Arranger used anywhere. Seems Kareoke is the way to go. As said the audience doesn't care.

Did see my dream job last night. Went to dinner at the Pink House in Savannah and had a drink in the downstairs bar beforehand. BabyGrand sitting in the corner with a mic. Music 7 nights a week with the fabulous David Duckworth on weekends and the bartender said the during the week players are just as good. We were with friends so had to leave before the music started but will go back.
Goes along with Donnys post about a good pianist doing those variations.
