Wow, I won't need to turn the heater on in my house for a couple of days. That was hot. . .

Bottom line, Jazzmammal;
We all know 90% of our listeners have no clue but good musicians are "keepers of the flame". It's up to us to perform in a professional manner and show them what's good.

Of course, real musicians, are the real deal. The reason any of us even reach out to electronically emulated sounds, is probably because no guitar player, or sax player was available at time of the event. There is no comparison with a real player. We do have many various electronic helpers available. Let the power go out for a week, or our computers crash (no whammy intended), and then let us continue. . . These things are all just tools, never meant to take the place of a real musician. How close can we get at fooling 90% of the people, pretty close. So what, that is not the intent, probably. The intent is to add some sax, or guitar, or drums to your track when a real player is not available. I like the PG band, some of them play better than I do. Some of you play better than they do. It's all good.
Thank goodness this forum is filled with so much talent. It feels like HOME to me.

As one would say, Good On Ya!
