Pat I agree, we must adapt to survive.
When I started out, it was with a seven piece Dixieland Group in Chicago..
Then it was playing with a real Latino Big Band Jazz Outfit...Prez Prado Type
Then it was playing with gringo orchestras
Then it was the "standard" quintets, quartets, trios, duos...and then
Single act with just guitar and vocals
Now it builds from there
My voice
My guitars
My Bass guitars-fretted and fretless
My Synth Guitar (Like Metheney's Roland GR-303
My Synths: RolandG-1000, Yamaha CS6X, Korg PA60,a trio of M3r's, Karma, Yamaha Motif Rack, Motif ES, XV5080, Akai Sample/synth, Roland M1+, Ensoniq EPS+...Korg Triton, 2 Oasys Synth Cards....
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, and a Merry Christmas to all..he's got goodies on his sled...

Now it's solely solo with my own "orchestrion", and speaking of that, here's another one from a talented guy>>>
