Me personally i know a few guys that can play, but none are available when i am, they all have lives, wives, and kids, so i have to to do this thing on my own.

also there is the whole deal with others thing. I have played with a few guys over the years, and it always comes down to what they want that is different than what i want, when they can play, what they like and don't like, will they practice it or not, will we get together for a jam practice and they announce that they have not looked at the disk i sent them.

Really BiaB allows guys the option to play solo, and be in control of the product. No drama, no fuss, and have virtual studio musicians in the house.

If you want to play with friends and others great, but be careful to knock what others do. After all bands are really struggling to find work these days, solo acts are everywhere. I know guys that play in bands, but can only get two nights a week, but they grab a solo gig a couple other nights and that helps them survive. there was a guy down at the harbor coffee shop last night with a laptop and a PA system sitting there cranking out one great song after another, he was virtually nothing but a karaoke artist, but hey he had twenty people sitting and listening. The guy could flat out sing anything. Over at the other side of the harbor at a restaurant there was a 5 piece band doing a plethora of old rock tunes, nice and far more "live" but all they had was about 25 people listening.

I imagine the solo guy was far less expensive for the coffee place than the band was. Some people ride a motorcycle to work each day, others ride in the dirt on the weekend, still others ride in road races, is the road racer the only one who is a "real" biker?



Well said. I think Eddie is hiding from us now.
