Gee Bernie, very inciteful. You DO have a way of articulating the thoughts of most musicians in our age group AND YOUNGER. I'm glad you took the time to plow through that video. Like you, I wasn't aware of what went on behind the scenes in both live and studio productions, especially the use of pre-recorded audio tracks. I'm hoping others will also view this, if only for the educational value. There is a lot in there that could also relate to the arranger scene. For one thing, I'll look at current musical productions with a new sense on curiosity.
