You sir are right on about the bluegrass thing. What fans come to the festivals for is to see each picker take a lead on a song. Gotta have your chops.



Yeah, I understand that is a big part of the "live performance" as people see it, not just bluegrass. That's why I've always been fascinated by musicians who can play many instruments. Even with backing tracks, if the performer solos on different instruments for each song (or even within the same song) it would be obvious that the act wasn't karaoke.



Speaking of DJs, anybody who has the gear to play with backing tracks could also do the DJ thing. Just sayin'. There are a few other skills and gear to acquire so you can blend songs tother at the same beat and add scratches... but all in all, it would be easier for US to duplicate what THEY do than it would be for THEM to duplicate what WE do.
