If we want to talk about musicians loosing gigs forget talking about single, duo or trios using backing tracks. Lets talk about DJs.

Our wedding band used to have bookings every Friday and Saturday with an occasional Sunday doing weddings. During the off season we played at VFWs, Elks clubs etc, i.e. no bars. Then DJs started taking over. Ours and all other wedding bands started loosing gigs to DJs. Soon the VFWs and such started using DJs. Most bars around here are now using DJs or Karaoke. None of these use musicians!

Sorry for going off subject but the talk about musicians loosing jobs to backing tracks just had to make me post this. Well that and the devil!

It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
