This picture says it all:
It's all about looking at some singers rear end.

Then again, I've been in some bands where looking at the singer's behind wasn't necessarily a bad thing.......  |

| Arty.. I get your drift, but more often its a big male singer that delights in making his bandmates gag, knowing they are captives on stage... Happened to me a bunch of times, much to enjoyment of the perpetrator.. .. Personally, I stand up after the tune and point at him, while pulling my shirt over my nose and mouth for a few minutes...... bob |

| Music business is two words. Do you want to make music or money? Dan, I've heard a few of your music clips. You make some really nice music. As long as you're sheltered, fed and have money for occasional new gear, what else do you need? One hundred years from now, we'll all be dead anyway.

| You haven't lived until you've worked a gay bar, playing Judy Garland's arrangement of "The Man That Got Away" for a singer wearing nothing but chaps. That's right, chaps and no pants, just inches in front of my steel and my face. Been there, done that. |

Dan,
To paraphrase the most remebered line of dialogue (actually, it was more like monologue) from "The Graduate,"
"I have one word for you, Ben...casters..." |

My 2 cents worth that singers are a dime a dozen and the band makes the singer.Granted there ar lots of good singers out there but in today's music one or two could sing all the songs and no one would be the wiser if they could not see the singer..The older singers you could tell apart from each other.This even applies to not just country.RS

Two second before this shot, the sax player looked at Robert Randolph and said "can you give me a C?"!

| I worked a joint in Philly for a while called the BIKE STOP. Motorcycles hanging from the ceiling, darts, pinball, pool tabels, trophy cases full of baseball & football awards. A couple of body builder types carrying gym bags came in, tossed back a couple boilermakers... then started to tongue kiss...I hollered out "I know Hank didn't do it this way!" But the crowd was one of the most appreciative groups I ever played for and the girl singer stopped every show with her talent. Except for being in the city, it was one of the best places to play. |

Well I don't see the drummer or keyboard player in the "jam" either...maybe it has something to do with the mobility of the instrument? I bet Jerry Douglas would have been able to join in...do you think?
I watched the presentation and saw a guy on stage playing a Fender (Baldwin?) PSG. I couldn't hear him in the mix but I won't blame that on the band...they could probably hear him fine. My biggest question is; who is the steeler and does he usually play this Fender?
Thanks.
