“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

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
