Yup, that little "disclaimer" makes it alright to say "snarky" things it seems, reminds me of the "Who, Me?" kid...

Or the response they give.....


Joanne, we gave a listen to your 2 originals, and we have to say keep it up! They sound good to us, so we bookmarked your page to "keep an eye on ya."

I made my living playing live for over 30 + years, and am only "out of it" because of health reasons, both mine & the better half's.. In that time I "undercut" a lot of folks because..

1. It is called "The Music Business", not "The Music Charity". Like any biz, I hustled, paid my taxes, and made a profit. They ones I "undercut" were folks who thought their worth was way more than it was...you can only go so far on rep, and when arrogance & snobbery shows up because of it most folks would rather play with someone else.

2. I was "freelance", both live & studio. I did my job, showed up on time, helped with load in & out, and went the extra mile to make any band I played with feel comfortable. When folks hired me they knew that the night was going to go smoothly, up until the load out was complete. The ones I "took jobs from" mainly showed up, played, packed their stuff & held their hand out....

Again, if you are in "The Music Business" you need to treat it as such, or get left behind whining about how bad it is. For a few years a lot of us rented halls at the slower "animal clubs" & played for free while the club ran the bar. It helped the club, keep us in practice, and when things turned around who do you think were the best paid musicians?

I also notice that a lot of folks have not mentioned how BiaB & Real Tracks put musicians out of work? I know Norton's argument about midi, but truth be told it still sounds like midi no matter what anyone does to it. There is not one demo of midi backing tracks that would tempt me to sit thru 4 sets in a club. Real Tracks, on the other hand, makes seeing a 1 or 2 man band more enticing, and bearable.

So, is using BiaB undercutting musicians job's? And if so, why is their not some negative comments aimed at PGMusic?

IMHO it is because the product speaks for itself, and since it gives everyone the ability to play with "real musicians" that don't have attitudes, it is accepted.

Just Sayin'....
