I agree ..... What I was saying was that, in trying to figure out why certain musicians would rather jam at home for no money, than play a gig for low money, I was thinking it is because at home you play what YOU want, but at a gig you play what the audience wants
... and some musicians, if they can't find the venue to play 'their' music, they will only play for themselves at home ... to me, there is nothing like the response of an audience appreciating what I'm playing ...
Big Red ..... when they only want an apple, do as UD has often said, scale it down to piano, bass & drums, or even just piano, and give 'em the apple ....
