“In the 80's, karaoke came in and became a huge factor in dialing back live bands, duos, or singles. Let the crowd be the show.”Oh yeah Marc! I remember the decrease in band gigs then. Even the 70’s, venues were starting to use DJ’s instead of bands. Hire one DJ to hype the crowd up and pump-out music. Much cheaper than hiring a band. I also noticed starting in the late 70’s, duos and single acts were replacing 4 & 5 piece bands. The Music business has always been a changing phenomenon. Well, maybe not a phenomenon, it’s all about cost efficiency and profits. Personally, I’d prefer those Tin Pan Alley days – ha, ha. ![[Linked Image]](http://schicksville.com/Tin%20Pan%20Alley.jpg) John

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
